Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to remove Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur through a no-confidence motion. This decision follows Governor Faisal Karim Kundi’s refusal to accept Gandapur’s resignation. PTI has called an emergency session of the provincial assembly for today to take up the motion. The party aims to replace Gandapur with a new leader amid the ongoing political uncertainty.
Gandapur had submitted his resignation earlier this week, stepping down from the chief minister’s post. PTI nominated Sohail Afridi as his successor to lead the province. However, the governor stated he had not yet officially received Gandapur’s resignation. Therefore, the resignation remains unaccepted, prompting PTI to take a different approach.

The emergency session will be critical in determining KP’s political future. PTI faces pressure to maintain unity and manage the leadership change quickly. The party’s decision reflects its urgency to resolve the leadership issue legally and politically. Members of the assembly are expected to debate the motion thoroughly.
