This is a summary of the electoral history of Imran Khan, who was the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, serving from 2018 to 2022. He also served as the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) from 1996 to 2023.

He contested his first elections from nine different constituencies in the 1997 general elections, but was unsuccessful from all of them. In the 2002 general elections, he contested from four constituencies, and was only victorious in NA-71 Mianwali-I, being elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan for the first time. He did not contest the 2008 general elections due to him and his party deciding to boycott them. In the 2013 general elections, he again contested from four constituencies, and won three. He decided to retain NA-56 Rawalpindi-VIII and vacate the other two. In the 2018 general elections, he decided to contest five constituencies, and won all of them. He decided to retain NA-95 Mianwali-I, while vacating the rest.[1][2][3]

He also contested the 2022 Pakistani by-elections as the PTI candidate from eight of the nine constituencies up for election, and won seven of them. He was de-notified by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) from all but NA-45 Kurram-I, although he never took oath as a member from that seat.[4][5][6]

He attempted to contest from NA-89 Mianwali-I and NA-122 Lahore-VI in the 2024 general elections, but his nomination papers were rejected due to his disqualification in the Toshakhana reference case.[7]
