flag Bushra Bibi, Imran Khan’s wife, allegedly wielded major influence over Pakistani government decisions during his rule, blending spiritual authority with political power, according to a 2025 Economist report.

flag A 2025 report by The Economist alleges that Bushra Bibi, wife and spiritual adviser to former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, wielded substantial influence over government decisions and appointments during his tenure, with sources claiming her approval was required for major actions, including official travel and meetings with top military and intelligence leaders. flag The report suggests Khan married Bibi, believing it would aid his political rise, and that her role—though framed as spiritual—extended into state affairs, contributing to the erosion of his anti-corruption promises. flag Despite no official confirmation, accounts describe ritual practices and intelligence briefings directed to her, while her and Khan’s legal troubles, including corruption charges, have intensified scrutiny over the intersection of faith, personal loyalty, and governance in Pakistan.
