The Imran Khan government was the government of Pakistan which was formed by Imran Khan following his successful election as Prime Minister of Pakistan by the National Assembly. The cabinet had 25 federal ministers, 4 ministers of state and 4 advisors, most of whom assumed office on 20 August 2018.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

During the Imran Khan government there were several reforms implemented, these included strict measures taken against corruption, increased economic growth and stability, as well as the improvement of infrastructure and most prominently, the development of key social programs focusing on education, the environment, security and healthcare, including the Sehat Sahulat Program, advocating for the well-being of Pakistanis. Several reports suggested that the Imran Khan government’s widespread reforms had stabilized Pakistan’s economy greatly.[10][11][12][13][14]

The government was dissolved on 3rd April 2022 following the dissolution of the National Assembly of Pakistan by the President, Arif Alvi at the behest of the Prime Minister, Imran Khan.[15] On 7 April 2022, the Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered the restoration of the Federal Cabinet.[16]

The government also began the process of shifting Pakistan to a Welfare state,[14] although this process was interrupted abruptly when the government was dissolved again on 10 April 2022 following the defeat of Imran Khan in the Vote of No-confidence. He was the first ever Prime Minister of Pakistan to be ousted from office using through a vote of no-confidence.[17]
