Ten ministers of the newly-formed Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s cabinet took oath on Friday at a ceremony held at the Governor House in the provincial capital of Peshawar. Newly elected KP Chief Minister KP Sohail Afridi — who replaced Ali Amin Gandapur as the chief executive earlier this month — had announced his cabinet after jailed PTI founder Imran Khan directed him to go ahead with cabinet formation. Since his election as CM, Afridi has been denied permission four times to meet the PTI founder in Adiala Jail, despite the court’s directives. CM Afridi had maintained that he wanted to meet the party founder to seek his guidance for the cabinet formation.
