President Arif Alvi appointed Ghulam Ali as the governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) on the advise of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday.
After the ouster of Imran Khan’s government in the center, the coalition partners decided to give the post of KP governor to Jamiat-e-Ulema Islam (JUI).
However, the party leaders Akram Khan Durrani and Haji Ghulam Ali turned down the offer.
Then after consensus, the coalition partners decided to put the post in the basket of Awami National Party (ANP). For this purpose, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari played a key role.
Haji Ghulam Ali had been nominated by PM Shehbaz Sharif and a summary of the premier’s advice for his appointment as KP governor was sent to the president.
