Sher Afzal Marwat moves FCC seeking reinstatement of Gandapur as KP CM
ISLAMABAD: Member of the National House (MNA) and expelled PTI head Sher Afzal Khan Marwat on Thursday filed a legal challenge in the Federal Constitutional Judiciary (FCC) seeking the restoration of Ali Amin Gandapur as provincial head of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
In adherence with the directions of PTI founding chairman, Gandapur had stepped down as KP provincial head, hours after PTI Secretary Senior commander Salman Akram Raja verified Sohail Afridi's nomination for the post in October last year.
In his legal challenge, Marwat, who was expelled from the PTI by the PTI founder for his continued violation of faction discipline in February last year, contended that Gandapur’s resignation was obtained "under pressure", adding that his resignation has no legal status.
Without naming jailed PTI founder Imran Khan, the former PTI head, once a close aide of the former premier, stated that resignation was sought from Gandapur “on the dictation of a convicted disqualified individual”.
It is pertinent to mention here that Khan, who has been in jail since August 2023, faces multiple cases ranging from graft to extremist unrest since his ouster from electricity via the rivals's no-trust proposed action in April 2022.
