Analysis

Khan announced his cabinet soon after taking oath, he kept ministry of interior to himself. His choice for ministries was criticized as he came into power on the slogan of Change and New Pakistan but most of his appointees were previously ministers during the era of Pervez Musharraf and some served in PPP government which followed Musharraf era.[13][14][15][16][17][18] He was criticized by supporters and critics for settling for "Diet Reform" as Musharraf pursued rather than the real change that was embodied by the PTI.[19] Some supporters defended Khan since the PTI was in a coalition government and needed "electables" to win the election.

Khusro Bakhtiar served as a minister during Musharraf's regime, as well as an MNA in the PML-N coaliton government[20] Shafqat Mehmood was a member of the PPP from 1990 until he joined Musharraf regime soon after 1999 coup and became provincial minister.[21] Farogh Naseem has been part of Musharraf's legal team representing him against treason charges which aroused speculation on PTI's stance on if Pervez Musharraf will be tried for treason..[22] Tariq Bashir Cheema has been minister in a past PPP government.[23] Fehmida Mirza has been Speaker of the National Assembly of Pakistan in a PPP government.[24] Sheikh Rasheed Ahmad served as a minister during the Musharraf era as well as a former MNA of the PML-N.[25] Ghulam Sarwar Khan also served as a minister during Musharraf regime.[26] Zubaida Jalal Khan was a minister and held the same portfolio during Musharraf era.[27] Fawad Chaudhry was media coordinator in the political party formed by Musharraf as well a special Assistant to Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.[28] Shah Mehmood Qureshi held the same portfolio in a PPP government.[29] Babar Awan also served in a past PPP government.[30] Malik Amin Aslam held same portfolio under Musharraf government but is more of a technocrat than a politician.[31] Abdul Razak Dawood was commerce minister for Musharraf as well.[32] Omar Ayub Khan was the minister of state for finance in Shaukat Aziz's cabinet during the Pervez Musharraf regime.[33] Ali Muhammad Mahar was the former Chief Minister of Sindh during the Musharraf regime.[34]
