Sohail Afridi says he will remain KP CM

KP Chief Minister Sohail Afridi said he would remain in office until PTI founder Imran Khan gives further instructions. The PTI also formed a six-member committee headed by Asad Qaiser to deal with internal tensions in the province.

PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi on Tuesday said he would remain in office unless Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan issues fresh instructions, dismissing speculation of a change in the political setup in the province.

Speaking to the media in Rawalpindi, Afridi said Imran Khan had already made it clear that he could not be removed from office as long as he remained the party’s choice. Referring to the jailed former prime minister’s earlier remarks, Afridi said:

“The founder of the PTI [Imran Khan] said that if Sohail Afridi is chief minister, no power in the world will be able to replace him”,

He added:

“Until a new message comes from the PTI founder, I will remain the chief minister.”

His comments come amid deepening internal tensions within the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa section of the PTI. Afridi also told reporters earlier in the day that the PTI-led provincial government could only be toppled by the party’s founder, and dismissed reports of an advancing bloc within the party as propaganda.

He also demanded that Imran Khan be shifted to Shifa International Hospital for treatment. Afridi said the party’s only demand was for the former prime minister to be transferred to this hospital, and urged authorities to allow his family members to meet him if others did not have access.

“Our only requirement is that [Khan] be transferred to Shifa International,”

On the budget, the chief minister said the provincial cabinet had approved the budget documents and the government would present what he described as a people-friendly budget. He said the province had not presented a surplus budget and spending priorities would include health, education, agriculture, youth and forestry.

“We have not planned a budget surplus. We are focusing on health, education, agriculture, youth and forests,”

Afridi also said that reports of an advanced bloc were being spread to divert attention ahead of the federal budget, which he said would affect all provinces as well as Gilgit-Baltistan.

PTI forms committee

Meanwhile, as differences within the PTI in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa continue to intensify, the party has set up a six-member committee headed by Asad Qaiser to narrow the gap between its parliamentarians and the provincial government, according to an official statement issued by the PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa secretariat and signed by the provincial general secretary.

The notification said the committee was tasked with restoring coordination and cohesion within the provincial party structure as soon as possible. The body includes KP Assembly Speaker Babar Saleem Swati and provincial general secretary Ali Asghar Khan among its core members, giving it both legislative and organizational clout.

According to the notification, the central role of the committee will be to act as a coordination and liaison mechanism between MPs, the parliamentary party and the provincial government, three levels of the party structure whose lack of alignment has been identified as the main cause of the current internal tensions.

Separately, nearly 30 MPs did not attend a parliamentary meeting called by the chief minister on Sunday, in what was widely seen as a deliberate show of dissent. The same report said the situation was further intensified due to behind-the-scenes efforts by several senior party leaders to secure the chief minister’s post and rally support for them.
