A petition was filed in the Peshawar High Court (PHC) on 7th October 2024, seeking the disqualification of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur. The petition accuses Gandapur of misconduct, citing alleged misuse of authority, financial irregularities, and violation of constitutional provisions. Filed by a local lawyer, the plea has sparked political debates across the province.
The petitioner argues that Gandapur has failed to uphold his oath of office and has violated both provincial and federal laws during his tenure. The accusations range from mismanagement of public funds to the misuse of government machinery for personal gains. If the court accepts the petition, it could lead to a lengthy legal battle and possible political ramifications for the ruling party in KP.
Opposition parties have already started capitalizing on the situation, calling for Gandapur’s resignation until the investigation concludes. The Chief Minister’s office, however, has dismissed the allegations, terming them as politically motivated attempts to derail the government’s progress. The PHC is expected to set a hearing date soon, which could significantly impact the political landscape in KP.
