Will Imran Khan Be Released And Return As Prime Minister In 2025?

Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi (born 5 October 1952 at 11.55 am at Lahore, Pakistan) is a Pakistani politician and former cricketer who served as the 19th prime minister of Pakistan from August 2018 until April 2022. He is the founder and former chairman of the political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from 1996 to 2023. On November 3, 2022, he was shot in the leg in an assassination attempt in Wazirabad while leading a march towards Islamabad to demand early elections. On May 9, 2023 he was arrested at the Islamabad High Court by paramilitary forces who stormed into the courthouse, this was over his alleged role in the 190 million pound case. Recently, after the terror attack in Pahalgam, J&K, India entered into border conflict with Pakistan from May 7, 2025. The operation is called as “Operation Sindoor”.

As per the reports, there is growing clamour among the Imran Khan supporters to release him especially during this period as the current establishment headed by Shehbaz Sherif is found to be ineffective in handling the current border conflict. As per the horoscope of Pakistan (August 14, 1947 at 12.00 midnight at Karachi, Pakistan) too there are clear indications of Shehbaz Sherif being uprooted anytime soon. Also, based on the chart of Army General Asim Munir (June 6, 1966 at 10.15 pm at Rawalpindi, Pakistan) it is most likely that in the coming few months there can either be a coup by him or there can be some situation where he can be replaced by another person or he himself can resign. It is also a well known fact that the arrest of Imran Khan was at the behest of Gen Asim Munir. In the current situation, there is a clamour for release of Imran Khan.

The Asc rising in the chart of Imran Khan is at 3.39 deg Sagittarius. The dasa is of Jupiter/Sun from September 2024 to June 2025. Jupiter in the chart is in the sign Aries in conjunction with Moon and aspects Mars in Sagittarius and Venus in Libra. Jupiter is the Asc lord, Moon is the 8th lord, Mars is the 12th lord (Jail) and Venus is the 11th lord (gains). Jupiter will transit the sign Gemini on May 14, 2025. From Gemini, Jupiter will aspect natal Venus and also Mars in the Asc. Based on the transit of Jupiter to Gemini, Imran Khan will be released within the next few months before June/July 2025.

There are also rumours stating that he is dead in prison due to torture. However, based on the chart available, the news of death is not true. Also, as per the chart of Pakistan as stated above, the transit of Pluto is exactly on the cusp of the 10th cusp which signifies the current government signifying that there is going to be fall of the existing government headed by Shehbaz Sharif soon. The fall of the existing government can either be through the unrest created by the supporters of Imran Khan for his release or by way of military coup by Gen Asim Munir. After the release of Imran Khan in June/July 2025, he is all set to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan between October and December 2025. In the last quarter of 2026, again there will be some incidents by which his position will be at stake during which time he is likely to attempt to flee abroad. However, his attempt to go abroad will be blocked the authorities.
