In a major political development, PTI Secretary General Salman Akram Raja has officially confirmed that Ali Amin Gandapur will be replaced as the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). According to Raja, Imran Khan, the party’s founder, personally issued the directive to appoint Muhammad Sohail Afridi as the new Chief Minister.
Speaking to the media, Salman Akram Raja stated that the decision reflects the party leadership’s evolving strategy and vision for the province. He emphasized that PTI will follow the constitutional and procedural process to ensure a smooth transition of power.
Sources within PTI suggest that this move comes amid internal discussions to strengthen administrative performance and governance in KP. While Gandapur has been a strong party loyalist and an influential figure in the province, Imran Khan’s latest decision underscores his intent to introduce new leadership and momentum in the region’s political landscape.
