ISLAMABAD – Prime Minister’s Coordinator for Information on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Affairs, Ikhtiar Wali Khan, on Sunday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has no longer enjoys full support from its own MPAs in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Speaking to a private news channel, he said that public frustration were growing in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa over governance lapses and alleged corruption in KP. Responding to a question, he said that the formula for Senate elections had been agreed with PTI to curb horse-trading. “Had the Senate elections been held through open balloting, PTI would have secured even fewer seats than those allotted under agreed formula,” he said.
Criticizing CM today’s role, he said that the Chief Minister’s failure to ensure the oath taking of new members before the Senate elections was a violation of constitutional responsibility. He criticized the KP government for once again evading its constitutional role and attempting to undermine the democratic process.
