Sher Afzal Marwat moves FCC seeking reinstatement of Gandapur as KP CM
Key takeaways
- Without naming jailed PTI founder Imran Khan, the former PTI leader, once a close aide of the former premier, said 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 corruption to terrorism since his ouster from power via the opposition's no-trust motion in April 2022.
- Marwat pleaded with the apex court to declare Gandapur’s resignation unconstitutional and void, arguing that his de-notification was illegal and against the Constitution.
