Former JUI-F senator nominated as K-P governor

The coalition government led by PML-N has decided to appoint former JUI-F senator Haji Ghulam Ali new governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The ruling Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) parties agreed on the name of JUI-F leader in a recent meeting.

In this regard, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has sent summary to President Arif Alvi for the appointment of Haji Ghulam Ali as KP governor.

The post fell vacant since PTI leader Shah Farman stepped down soon after Shehbaz Sharif was sworn in as the prime minister in April this year.

Since then Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker Mushtaq Ahmad Ghani has been serving as acting governor as per constitutional requirement but with limited authority.
