Economist Report Highlights Alleged Influence of Bushra Bibi on Imran Khan’s Governance

The British weekly magazine *The Economist* has published a special report on former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, stating that his third marriage raised questions not only about his personal life but also about his style of governance.
In the report written by senior journalist **Owen Bennett-Jones**, it is claimed that individuals close to Imran Khan believe Bushra Bibi attempted to influence key appointments and day-to-day government decisions. This, the report says, created concerns that a form of “spiritual consultation” had begun shaping the former prime minister’s decision-making process.
The report further asserts that due to Bushra Bibi’s alleged spiritual influence, Imran Khan struggled to implement the reform agenda he had promised.
According to some analysts cited in the article, certain members of a sensitive state institution were allegedly passing information to Bushra Bibi, which she would reportedly present to Imran Khan as insights gained through her “spiritual visions.”
