The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-backed independent lawmaker Ali Amin Gandapur on Friday was elected by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly as chief minister of the province.

Gandapur secured 90 votes whereas his rival PML-N candidate Ibadullah Khan bagged 16 votes. The election was held through secret ballotting.

He is the 22nd elected chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

After his election as chief minister, Gandapur demanded release of PTI founder. The PTI leader demanded an open trial for the former prime minister. He said his party knew how to get their right. Gandapur said his party wanted to change the system which would ensure justice for everyone.

The PTI leader said his party’s mandate was stolen. He said the chief election commissioner (CEC) failed to conduct free and free elections and asked him to tender his resignation over alleged rigging in general elections.

The newly-elected KP chief minister urged the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) to hold a judicial enqury into May 9 episode.

On Thursday, Babar Saleem Swati was elected as the speaker and Suraiya Bibi as the deputy speaker. As the house has a majority of the PTI-backed members, the session was calm. However, pro-PTI founder slogans continued to echo in the house throughout the session.

Swati defeated Ehsanullah Khan, the joint candidate of the PPP, ANP, PML-N, and the PTI-Parliamentarians.

In the 106-strong house, he bagged 89 votes while Khan polled 17 votes. Outgoing speaker Mushtaq Ghani administered the oath to newly-elected speaker Swati.

Later, voting for the deputy speaker slot was held. Suraiya Bibi, who won the election from Chitral on a general seat, defeated PTI-P’s Arbab Muhammad Waseem by securing 87 votes against her rival’s 19 votes.

The session was boycotted by the JUI-F.
