Ali Amin Gandapur, who has been nominated by the PTI for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister, has said that there should be no hesitation in marching for the rights of the province.

His remarks were shared by the party in a post on X. “I will participate in every forum for the rights of the province,” Gandapur was quoted as saying. “I hope that with sincere efforts, we will succeed.”

He promised to create a CM portal along the lines of the prime minister’s portal during Imran Khan’s tenure to resolve the complaints of the people.

“We will make significant efforts regarding the rights of the provinces,” Gandapur added. “I will work with all political parties in the assembly together.”

Gandapur further said the process of forming the provincial cabinet had started and recommendations would be sent to Imran soon. He further stated that PTI was not behind the events of May 9 and said investigations would reveal the truth.

“People going towards Rana Sanaullah’s house in Faisalabad were stopped, but they were allowed towards government properties,” he said. “The party’s policy was to not cause damage to government properties.”

He said the country needed to move forward now. Gandapur promised that the PTI would not avenge what had befallen it over the last few months.

“We will provide dignified employment opportunities for youth,” Gandapur concluded. “We will promote local industry.”
