Imran Khan Quells PTI Feud, Gandapur Reshuffles KP Cabinet After Jail Meeting

The jailed party founder seeks to reassert control over warring lieutenants.

Overview

  • KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur met Imran Khan at Adiala Jail and said he presented evidence of interference by Aleema Khan.
  • Gandapur reported that Imran expressed confidence in him and clarified he had not asked his sister to criticise the chief minister.
  • Following the meeting, Gandapur announced a cabinet shake-up in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, removing ministers he linked to corruption and elevating loyal allies.
  • A day earlier, PTI Senator Ali Zafar said Imran had barred Gandapur and Aleema from trading public accusations and had summoned the chief minister, while ruling out his removal.
  • PTI also reorganised its legal coordination, relieving Niazullah Niazi and Intazar Panjutha and appointing a new four-member team, and Zafar said Imran nominated Mahmood Khan Achakzai as opposition leader pending Omar Ayub’s cases.
