In a significant political development, Ali Amin Gandapur has stepped down from his position as Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The resignation, which has sent shockwaves through political circles, was announced on June 30, 2025. Gandapur stated that his decision came on the direct instructions of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, describing the CM office as “a trust from Imran Khan” that he was now returning.
The resignation includes Ali Amin Gandapur departure from his provincial assembly seat as well, though he emphasized his continued commitment to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. “I am not leaving the party, only relinquishing my position,” Gandapur clarified during his announcement. This move suggests a major reshuffling within PTI’s provincial leadership structure, with Imran Khan expected to personally name the new Chief Minister in coming days.

Ali Amin Gandapur tenure as CM was marked by ongoing tensions between the PTI-led provincial government and federal authorities. His sudden departure raises questions about PTI’s strategic direction in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, particularly as the party continues to reorganize following recent national political challenges. Political analysts are closely watching how this change will affect governance in the province and PTI’s broader political strategy.
The outgoing Chief Minister’s statement highlighted his unwavering loyalty to PTI leadership, framing the resignation as an administrative transition rather than a political rift. As the province awaits Imran Khan’s announcement of a new CM, this development underscores the dynamic nature of Pakistan’s political landscape and PTI’s ongoing efforts to consolidate its position in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
