Imran Khan, born in 1952, is a former cricketer-turned-politician and the 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan (2018–2022). After leading Pakistan to victory in the 1992 Cricket World Cup, he entered politics by founding the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in 1996, with a vision of justice, anti-corruption, and national reform.

Initially struggling to gain political traction, PTI emerged as a significant force after 2011 through massive public rallies and youth support. In the 2018 general elections, PTI won a majority, and Imran Khan became Prime Minister. His government focused on accountability, welfare programs (Ehsaas Program), health cards, foreign policy balance, and an austerity drive.

Imran Khan emphasized Riyasat-e-Madina (Islamic welfare model) and strengthened ties with China, Turkey, and Gulf countries while balancing relations with the West. His government faced economic challenges, inflation, and political opposition.

In April 2022, he was removed from office via a no-confidence vote. Despite his ousting, Khan remains a dominant political figure, leading mass campaigns and challenging the status quo. His political career reflects charisma, populism, and polarization, and he continues to shape the political narrative in Pakistan.
