KP CM sends summary to Governor for dissolution of assembly

Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Mahmood Khan has sent a summary to KP Governor Haji Ghulam Ali for dissolution of the provincial assembly.

If the KP governor within 48 hours does not sign the summary, the assembly will break up by itself.

According to Bol News, the KP CM advised the Governor on Tuesday to dissolve the provincial assembly, fulfilling the promise to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan and paving the way for fresh elections.

The development came days after Chief Minister Parvez Elahi dissolved Punjab Assembly after Governor Baligh Ur Rehman refrained from signing the summary sent to him.

The PTI chairman had announced the dissolution of the assemblies of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab in November last year. However, the plans were delayed due to consultations with allies and countermeasures adopted by the ruling allies in the centre.
