ISLAMABAD: Restoration of the dissolved Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly after six months to give an opportunity to lawmakers to elect a democratic Leader of the House and form a provincial government has been confirmed by the Prime Minister’s Advisor on Political Affairs Rana Sanaullah.
“This is a continuous and systematic process in which we are preparing a strategy to close the political vacuum in KP in which the previous Pakistani Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) political setup always focused on partisan political agenda and never on the supreme national interest,” Sanaullah told the media members at Parliament House.
