PESHAWAR: Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) Shah Farman on Monday stepped down from office after the ouster of the PTI federal government.
Farman, who has tendered his resignation to President Arif Alvi, was the 32nd governor of the province and had taken the oath on September 5, 2018.
Since joining PTI in 1995, Farman was elected to the provincial assembly, while he remained a minister from 2013 to 2018.
Other than Farman, Punjab Governor Omar Sarfaraz Cheema and Sindh Governor Imran Ismail are likely to tender their resignations as they have refused to give protocol to a “corrupt” person — Shahbaz Sharif.
The PTI MNAs minutes before Farman’s resignation from office, had also announced resigning from their seats — as the country is likely to witness intense political activity due to by-elections.
It is pertinent to mention here that on Monday evening the National Assembly of Pakistan elected Shehbaz Sharif new Prime Minister of the country.
