Overview

  • Governor Faisal Karim Kundi confirmed receipt of Gandapur’s handwritten resignation on Saturday afternoon and issued an official acknowledgment of delivery.
  • PTI convened a Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly session for 3:00 PM after days of confusion over a previously unconfirmed resignation that officials said had not reached the Governor’s House.
  • Party leaders had prepared a no-confidence motion to remove Gandapur but say the fresh submission could make that step unnecessary as they proceed under constitutional procedure.
  • PTI has formally nominated Sohail Afridi for chief minister, with leaders claiming 92 votes in hand and targeting 100 through outreach to other parties.
  • From Adiala Jail, Imran Khan cast the change as necessary due to rising terrorism, while a federal minister accused PTI of having enabled militants, underscoring sharp political tensions.
