Hasan Akhund's cabinet is the current cabinet of the Taliban's Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan since its formation after the Fall of Kabul on 15 August 2021.

Cabinet

[edit]

Post-Republic transitional government (2021)

[edit]

On the first days of the new regime, tentative nominations to the cabinet were announced until late August 2021,[1][2][3] including the acting ministers of Public Works,[4] Water and Energy, Education and the acting Head of the Central Bank among other high-ranking officials were appointed.[5] Supreme Leader Hibatullah Akhundzada directly appointed the caretaking ministers. Additionally, Wahid Majrooh, a minister of the old regime, stayed in office after cooperating with the Taliban until the end of September.[6]

Controversies arose when the Taliban said in early September 2021 that women would not be allowed to "work in high-ranking posts" in the government[7] and "ruled out" women in the cabinet.[8] On 24 August 2021, Fawzia Koofi, a former member of the Afghan National Assembly, had said that a men-only government would "not be complete".[9] Early September street protests by women in Herat and Kabul called for women to be included in the new government.[10][11][7]

Akhund caretaker cabinet (2021–2025)

[edit]

On 7 September 2021, a men-only "caretaker cabinet"[12] was appointed by Akhundzada, headed by Hasan Akhund as Prime Minister.[13][14] The Ministry of Women's Affairs was abolished.[14] This was followed by three more major rounds of appointments on 21 September,[15] 4 October[16][17] and 23 November 2021.[18] Among those were the nominations of two Taliban veterans as deputy ministers.[19] Afghanistan's main political parties objected to the choice of acting cabinet members as non-inclusive, with the pro-Tajik Jamiat-e Islami describing it as "more monopolist and extremist in politics and power than the previous imposed leaders", and Atta Muhammad Nur seeing it as a "sign of hegemony, monopoly and a return to the past".[20]

Russia is the only country that has recognized the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.[citation needed]

Akhund cabinet (2025–)

[edit]

Akhund was appointed as permanent prime minister on 15 August 2025.
