- Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi HI(M) PP (Urdu: عمران احمد خان نیازی; born 5 October 1952) is a Pakistani politician and former cricket captain who served as the 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan from August 2018 until April 2022. He is the founder and chairman of the political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
Born to a Niazi Pashtun family in Lahore, Khan graduated from Keble College, University of Oxford, England, in 1975. He began his international cricket career at age 18, in a 1971 Test series against England. Khan played until 1992, served as the team's captain intermittently between 1982 and 1992,[6] and won the 1992 Cricket World Cup, in what is Pakistan's first and only victory in the competition. Considered one of cricket's greatest all-rounders,[7][8] Khan scored 3,807 runs and took 362 wickets in Test cricket and was inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame. He founded cancer hospitals in Lahore and Peshawar,[9] and Namal College in Mianwali,[10][11] prior to entering politics.[12][13]
Founding the PTI in 1996, Khan won a seat in the National Assembly in the 2002 general election, serving as an opposition member from Mianwali until 2007. PTI boycotted the 2008 general election and became the second-largest party by popular vote in the 2013 general election.[14][15] In the 2018 general election, running on a populist platform, PTI became the largest party in the National Assembly, and formed a coalition government with independents with Khan as Prime Minister.
As Prime Minister, Khan addressed a balance of payments crisis with bailouts from the International Monetary Fund.[16] He presided over a shrinking current account deficit,[17][18] and limited defence spending to curtail the fiscal deficit, leading to some general economic growth.[19][20][21] He enacted policies that increased tax collection,[22][23] and investment.[24] His government committed to a renewable energy transition, launched the Ehsaas Programme and the Plant for Pakistan initiative, and expanded the protected areas of Pakistan. He presided over the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused economic turmoil and rising inflation in the country, and threatened his political position.[25]
Imran Khan has also been equivocally sympathetic towards the Afghan Taliban, quoted by him to have "broken the shackles of slavery" by toppling Ashraf Ghani's government. Khan has also delivered racist speeches and interviews about the people of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa being "pro-Taliban" due to their ethnic affiliation with the Pashtuns in Afghanistan. This has damaged his reputation as the Taliban have imposed a strict ban on women's education and are guilty of terrorism and crimes against humanity. Imran Khan's pro-Taliban stance has damaged the CPEC as the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban-Pakistan were responsible for attacks on Chinese workers and officials.[26]
Amid a constitutional crisis, Khan became the first Prime Minister to be removed from office through a no-confidence motion in April 2022. In August, he was charged under anti-terror laws after accusing the police and judiciary of detaining and torturing an aide.[27] In November, he survived an assassination attempt during a political rally in Wazirabad, Punjab.
On 17 August 2018, Khan secured 176 votes and became 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan and took oath of office on 18 August 2018.[219][220] Khan ordered top level reshuffling in the country's bureaucracy, including the appointment of Sohail Mahmood as Foreign Secretary, Rizwan Ahmed as Maritime Secretary and Naveed Kamran Baloch as Finance Secretary.[221][222] His first major appointment in the Pakistan Army was that of Lieutenant General Asim Munir to the key slot of Director-General of Inter-Services Intelligence.[223]
Khan announced his cabinet soon after taking oath, choosing to keep the Ministry of Interior to himself.[224] Though he later appointed Ijaz Ahmed Shah as interior minister.[225] Many of his appointees were previously ministers during Musharraf era, although some were defectors from the left-wing People's Party.[226][227] In 2019 Khan committed to a major cabinet reshuffle in the ministries of interior, finance, information and planning.
Khan made his first debut at the age of 16 in Lahore. By the start of the 1970s, he was playing for his home teams of Lahore A (1969-70), Lahore B (1969-70), Lahore Greens (1970-71) and, eventually, Lahore (1970-71).[46] Khan was part of the University of Oxford's Blues Cricket team during the 1973-1975 seasons.[44]
He played English county cricket from 1971 to 1976 for Worcestershire. During this decade, other teams represented by Khan included Dawood Industries (1975-1976) and Pakistan International Airlines (1975-1976 to 1980-1981). From 1983 to 1988, he played for Sussex.[47]
Khan made his Test cricket debut against England in June 1971 at Edgbaston.[48] Three years later, in August 1974, he debuted in the One Day International (ODI) match, once again playing against England at Trent
