ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has retained its existing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa organisational structure, with Junaid Akbar Khan continuing as provincial president, as the party navigates the political changes following the imposition of emergency and governor\u2019s rule in the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In September, as PTI prepared for its planned march towards Islamabad, Akbar warned the government against using force against protesters. \u201cWe will turn Islamabad into Somnath,\u201d the PTI leader said while addressing a gathering in Peshawar on September 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Akbar\u2019s whereabouts have remained unknown since the imposition of emergency and governor\u2019s rule in KP. PTI has claimed that its provincial president was arrested alongside other party leaders, but the authorities have not publicly confirmed his current whereabouts. The Peshawar High Court has sought responses from the relevant authorities regarding petitions seeking his recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a statement shared by PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan on X on Saturday, the party outlined the responsibilities of its provincial leadership, clarifying how its affairs would be managed under the prevailing circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement said Senator Noor-ul-Haq Qadri, the party\u2019s provincial senior vice-president, would preside over meetings of the provincial cabinet in Junaid Akbar\u2019s absence, in accordance with the PTI constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ali Asghar Khan, the provincial general secretary, would chair meetings in the absence of both Junaid Akbar and Qadri. He has also been authorised to convene and chair meetings of other tiers of the provincial organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the statement, Ali Asghar Khan would oversee administration, coordination and supervision across the party\u2019s provincial tiers and wings to ensure the implementation of its policies, strategies and decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PTI outlines responsibilities of provincial leadership<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The notification said the provincial organisation would continue to function under Junaid Akbar\u2019s presidency, while the designated office-bearers would assume additional responsibilities in his absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The announcement clarifies the division of responsibilities within PTI\u2019s provincial organisation amid uncertainty over how the party would manage its structure following the change in the province\u2019s political and administrative arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Governor\u2019s rule changes KP\u2019s political landscape<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The political and administrative order in KP changed on October 11, when President Asif Ali Zardari approved the imposition of an emergency under Article 232 and governor\u2019s rule under Article 234 of the Constitution, following a recommendation from the federal cabinet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Centre cited the deteriorating security situation and what it described as inadequate cooperation from the PTI-led provincial government on counterterrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Former chief minister Sohail Afridi, his cabinet and advisers ceased to hold office, while executive authority shifted to KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PTI rejected the federal government\u2019s justification for the measures and challenged the emergency and governor\u2019s rule in court. Before their imposition, Afridi had argued that additional resources for police alone would not resolve militancy without a change in counterterrorism policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The federal government subsequently established an 11-member advisory council<\/a> and a separate administrative structure for 12 terrorism-affected districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The National Assembly and Senate endorsed the measures on October 14, before a joint sitting of Parliament approved the resolution a day later by 214 votes to 56 amid opposition protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On October 17, the federal government appointed 48 members to a Regional Representative and Development Council covering the 12 designated districts following jirga consultations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PAK SOUCH MEDIA GROUP<\/p>\n\n\n\n Daily Pak Souch Newspaper Sukkur \u2013 Daily Pak Special Newspaper Karachi \u2013 Daily Pak Today Newspaper Karachi – Daily Pak Jazbo Newspaper Sukkur<\/p>\n\n\n\n Head Office : Ayub Gate Shaikh Muhalla Near Rabbania Masjid Sukkur<\/p>\n\n\n\n Karachi Office : Office No. 1901-B, 19th Floor Saima Trade Tower (B) Block I.I Chandigarh Road Near Jung Press, Shaheen Complex & National Museum of Pakistan Karachi Sindh Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact : 03009319022<\/p>\n\n\n\n Website 1 : https:\/\/paksouch.com\/<\/a> ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has retained its existing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa organisational structure, with Junaid Akbar Khan continuing as provincial president, as the party navigates the..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18272,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-24T013617.446-5.png",800,947,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-24T013617.446-5-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-24T013617.446-5-253x300.png",253,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-24T013617.446-5-768x909.png",768,909,true],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-24T013617.446-5.png",800,947,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-24T013617.446-5.png",800,947,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Pak-Souch-Social-Media-Poster-2026-10-24T013617.446-5.png",800,947,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"Pakistan<\/a>","tag_info":"Pakistan","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18271","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18271"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18271\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18273,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18271\/revisions\/18273"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18272"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18271"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18271"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18271"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
