MPAs took oath in maiden session of KP Assembly.
PESHAWAR: Ali Amin Gandapur, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader who contested the recently held polls as an independent candidate from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, was elected as the province's new chief minister on Friday after voting concluded in the KP Assembly.
Polling to elect the KP CM began earlier today with PTI's Gandapur and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate Dr Ibadullah Khan vying for the top provincial slot.
PTI founder Imran Khan had nominated Gandapur as his party's candidate for KP's leader of the house. Considering the numbers it is highly likely that he would clinch the slot.
Gandapur had the support of Sunni Ittehad Council's (SIC) members while Dr Ibadullah has the support of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarians (PTI-P).
The former federal minister decided to contest the top provincial post in an independent capacity after refusing to join the SIC — the party which was joined by PTI-backed independent winners to claim their seats.
Gandapur served as the former federal minister for Kashmir affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan during the PTI government at the Centre from October 2018 to April 2022.
Previously, he was a member of the KP Assembly from 2013 to 2018 and served as provincial minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for revenue
