Sohail Afridi Will Remain CM and Junaid Akbar Khan Provincial President Per Imran Khan’s Decisions, No Question of Anyone Else: Barrister Gohar Khan
Islamabad (Qudrat Daily): PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan has said that per Imran Khan’s decisions, Sohail Afridi will remain the Chief Minister and Junaid Akbar Khan the provincial president, and there is no question of anyone else. We are all united under Imran Khan’s leadership, and our focus should remain on Khan’s stance and narrative.
In a statement posted on X, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan, regarding the party’s internal affairs, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa MPAs, and the provincial organization, said that caution should be exercised in giving immediate reactions to one’s own party’s matters without verifying the facts. The news that formed the basis of the Secretary General’s tweet was not correct.
I have spoken to all relevant leaders and MPAs on this matter.
All Khyber Pakhtunkhwa MPAs are our pride and a valuable asset of the party. The steadfastness with which they supported Imran Khan over the past two years, the sacrifices they made, and the way they kept the party alive in the most difficult circumstances is before the whole world. In every rally, every procession, and every march, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s MPAs have played a leadership role.
All these members stand more firmly than before with Imran Khan, his ideology, and his struggle. They have Imran Khan’s complete trust. No MPA of the party can even think of deviating from Khan’s instructions. We are deeply grateful for their sacrifices and services. They have always stood with us, and in the future too, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa leadership and MPAs will be taken into confidence in all important party decisions and consultations.
As far as the PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa presidency is concerned, Junaid Akbar Khan was himself appointed provincial president by Imran Khan, and I issued the notification of his appointment on Khan’s instructions. He will remain provincial president.
In his absence, Senior Vice President Noor-ul-Haq Qadri will preside over the meetings of the provincial organization in accordance with the party constitution, while Ali Asghar Khan will oversee other affairs of the provincial organization as Secretary General PTI Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
I have spoken to the relevant officials in this regard, and the same desire emerged in the meeting of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial organization. God willing, a formal notification in this connection will be issued today or tomorrow.
No change will be made in the provincial organization and the current cabinet until Junaid Akbar Khan’s return.
Our entire focus should remain on Imran Khan’s stance, his narrative, and his struggle.
No internal debate or unnecessary rhetoric should divert attention from Imran Khan’s cause and struggle.
We are all united under Imran Khan’s leadership, and his decisions and instructions are final for us. I have said many times that Sohail is the Chief Minister. There is no question of anyone else. These are Khan’s decisions.
