History
PredecessorGhani cabinet

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

Post-Republic transitional government (2021)

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)

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.

Akhund cabinet (2025–)

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