Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf (PTI) announced Secretary-General Salman Akram Raja that the KP assembly on Monday is calling to elect a new leader of parliament after the resignation of the stepping chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur.
Raja, who approached a press conference at the KP Assembly’s Jirga Hall together with the Minister Provincial Law, said the schedule of the session will be issued by the assembly’s speeches.
He clarified that the Minister of Chief does not work under the author’s authority, and therefore the governor’s approval is not required for the minister’s resignation.
Raja noted that Governor Faisal Karim Kundi had received Gandapur’s resignation and added that the governor himself recognized his receipt in a post on X (formerly Twitter). The Governor House has also issued an official recognition, he said.
With reference to Article 130 (2) of the Constitution. 8, Raja explained that a Chief Minister’s resignation comes into force immediately after submission.
“There is no requirement for approval or notification, since Article 130 (8) mentions such a process. When a constitutional office holder resigns, it is considered accepted,” he said.
He reiterated that the Minister of Head is not a subordinate officer for the governor, and therefore the governor’s consent is irrelevant in this case.
Legal experts weigh in
The contemporary notice of the new chief minister’s election and the governor’s declaration of review of Gandapur’s resignation “under the law” has raised questions about whether a new minister of chief can be elected before the governor’s formal approval, and which is constantly authorized to convene the assembly session.
When he was contacted for comment, senior lawyer and constitutional expert Abdul Moiz Jaferii explained that the assembly has full authority to elect a new chief minister immediately after the resigning Chief Minister’s resignation.
“When CM submits his resignation, Parliament may choose another cm. The governor cannot make him wait for acceptance of his resignation,” Jaferii explained.
He added that until a new chief minister is elected, the extroverted CM can continue to perform his tasks, including calling the assembly session.

Raja also stated that Sohail Afridi, PTIS nominated to Chief Minister, will form a new provincial cabinet in line with the guidance of PTI founder Imran Khan.
