The first prime minister Pakistan ever removed by a vote. What happened next is the real story.
On 10 April 2022, Imran Khan became the first prime minister in Pakistan's history to be removed by a no-confidence vote. What followed was extraordinary even by the standards of Pakistani politics: a cascade of prosecutions—cipher, Toshakhana, iddat, Al-Qadir Trust—that put a former prime minister behind bars while his movement won the most seats in a national election.
The Politics of Removal is an evidence-led examination of that story. Distinguishing established fact from allegation and from editorial judgment, it asks what the sequencing and density of the cases against Khan reveal about law's coercive power in a hybrid regime—and what their use has cost the institutions that wielded them.
Neither prosecution nor hagiography, the book weighs the strongest counterarguments—Khan's own polarizing politics, genuine accountability interests, and the constitutional basis of the vote that removed him. Updated through July 2026, with a complete chronology of the court cases and a fully sourced record.
