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]

He was the first ever Prime Minister of Pakistan to be ousted from office using through a vote of no-confidence.[17]
