Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan is known for his whimsical decision-making. | Wakil Kohsar / AFP More than halfway into his five-year term, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan reshuffled his cabinet for the sixth time on April 16. This was the second major reshuffle that changed the portfolios of six ministers. Earlier, a reshuffle had affected some nine portfolios in April 2019 – barely eight months after he had formed the government and inducted a 16-member cabinet of ministers on August 20, 2018. Now, only eight ministers from the first cabinet retain the portfolios assigned in 2018. Most of the reshuffles involved just a change in the portfolio. Only two ministers – Amir Kayani and Dr Hafeez Shaikh – had to leave the cabinet.
