PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Mahmood Khan has signed summary advising Governor Haji Ghulam Ali to dissolve provincial Assembly.

Summary was then sent to Governor. Letter written to Haji Ghulam Ali read, “I, Mahmood Khan Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in pursuance of provisions in Article 112(1) of Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, do hereby forward my advice for dissolution of provincial Assembly of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on January 17, 2023 at 2100 hours (9pm).”
