Imran Khan is a Pakistani politician and former cricketer 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).
Khan was born in Lahore, Pakistan, to a Niazi Pashtun family. He graduated from Keble College, Oxford, with a degree in economics. After graduating, Khan played cricket for 21 years, captaining the Pakistan national team and leading them to victory in the 1992 Cricket World Cup.
After retiring from cricket, Khan entered politics. He founded the PTI in 1996 and led the party to victory in the 2018 general election. As prime minister, Khan focused on economic development, social welfare, and foreign policy. He was also a vocal critic of corruption and mismanagement in the Pakistani government.
Khan was ousted from office in April 2022 after the National Assembly passed a no-confidence motion against him. He has since remained a vocal critic of the current government and has called for new elections.
Khan is a controversial figure in Pakistan. He is admired by some for his charisma and his commitment to social justice. However, he is also criticized by others for his authoritarian tendencies and his close ties to the military.
Despite the controversy, Khan remains a popular figure in Pakistan. He is seen by many as a champion of the poor and the marginalized. He is also credited with bringing a new sense of hope and optimism to the country.
