Excitement spread across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as celebrations broke out following the announcement of Sohail Afridi as the new Chief Minister.
PTI supporters filled the streets in Peshawar, Mardan, and other cities, lighting fireworks and chanting party slogans. The night sky lit up with colors as workers distributed sweets and celebrated the leadership change with great enthusiasm.
Sohail Afridi’s appointment comes after Ali Amin Gandapur resigned from the post of Chief Minister in accordance with the directions of PTI founder Imran Khan.
Gandapur thanked his team, the provincial bureaucracy, and his cabinet members for their cooperation during challenging times. He acknowledged their role in helping the province overcome financial and security difficulties during his term.
According to PTI officials, Afridi’s nomination marks the beginning of a new phase for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s leadership.
Known for his close association with the party and consistent performance, Afridi is expected to bring new energy and vision to the provincial government. His leadership will focus on continuing PTI’s reform agenda, improving public services, and addressing key challenges such as inflation and development.
Supporters and analysts alike see this transition as a move toward political stability and renewed governance in the province. Many hope that Afridi’s leadership will strengthen coordination between institutions and ensure that public welfare remains a top priority.
The PTI leadership has expressed full confidence in Afridi’s ability to guide the province toward progress and uphold the party’s commitment to serving the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
