PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Mahmood Khan has signed and forwarded the summary to the governor for the dissolution of the provincial assembly, ARY News reported on Tuesday.
After dissolving the Punjab Assembly, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) also dissolved the KP Assembly to pave way for the organisation of the general elections.
KP CM Mahmood Khan sent the summary to the governor for the dissolution of the assembly. The provincial assembly will be dissolved within 48 hours regardless of the governor’s decision as per the Constitution.
CM Khan said that he decided to dissolve the assembly in national interests. He claimed that PTI will establish its government with a two-thirds majority in the next general elections.

Barrister Saif said that it is a constitutional requirement to conduct fresh elections within 90 days and any unconstitutional steps could be challenged in court.
