No Talks of Governor’s Rule in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Says Governor Kundi
Recent discussions regarding the potential imposition of governor’s rule in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) have stirred considerable speculation, but Governor Faisal Karim Kundi is setting the record straight. In a candid conversation with reporters in Peshawar, he affirmed that he has not been consulted on any such plans. "I am hearing through the media that governor’s rule is being imposed," Kundi remarked, adding, "as of now, there is no talk of governor’s rule."
The Constitution indeed allows for governor’s rule, but Kundi emphasized that he has received no official communication regarding this matter. His stance highlights a significant gap between governmental processes and public perception. He also mentioned that the challenging security environment in K-P doesn’t favor widespread protests at this time, given the province’s existing administrative hurdles. "The province is already burdened with issues, including law and order," he said, which resonates with the daily challenges faced by the people of K-P.
Amid various speculations, it was reported that some circles within the federal government are considering not just the possibility of imposing governor’s rule but also potential candidates for the role. Currently, six contenders have been named, including notable political figures like Ameer Haider Khan Hoti, Pervez Khattak, and Aftab Sherpao, alongside retired military officers such as Lieutenant General (r) Khalid Rabbani and Lieutenant General (r) Ghayur Mehmood.
While the prevailing preference seems to be retaining Governor Kundi, discussions appear ongoing. Officials from the Prime Minister’s Office have clarified that no formal decision has yet been made. This ongoing dialogue illustrates the complexities of governance in the region and the delicate balance needed to navigate this political landscape.
As we look toward the future, the people of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa will undoubtedly continue to monitor these developments closely. Everyone is eager for stability, and clarity in leadership can significantly impact the province’s trajectory.
