PTI ‘decides’ to remove Ali Amin Gandapur as KP chief minister

• Gandapur, Aleema Khan traded serious allegations.
• Imran expressed concerns over provincial governance.
• PTI sources say Sohail Afridi likely replacement.

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has decided to remove Ali Amin Gandapur as the chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), sources told Brackly News on Wednesday.

The sources within the PTI said that the party leadership is likely to nominate MPA Sohail Afridi as the KP chief minister.

However, PTI leaders have yet to confirm or deny the development.

The development comes amid reports of growing internal rifts within the party. Gandapur had earlier accused Aleema Khan, sister of PTI founder Imran Khan, of working with agencies, while Aleema had levelled counter-allegations against him.

Khan himself has reportedly expressed reservations over provincial governance and the handling of internal party affairs by the current KP administration, further fuelling speculation about an impending reshuffle.

Reacting to the development, political analyst Shahzeb Khanzada said that it seemed that Aleema Khan has prevailed.

“The differences between Gandapur and Khan aren’t new. There were questions regarding Aleema Khan within the party as well, he added.

Meanwhile, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan denied having any knowledge about the decision.

“I have no information about Chief Minister Ali Amin’s removal,” he said, while speaking to Brackly News.

While Barrister Gohar did not confirm or deny the decision, Bushra Bibi’s lawyer Rai Salman confirmed Gandapur’s removal as the KP chief minister.

This is a developing story and is being updated with new details.
