Pakistan Imposes Emergency, Governor's Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Curbing PTI

The federal government invoked Articles 232 and 234 to impose emergency and governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, effectively sidelining the PTI provincial administration. This marks a significant centralization of power and escalation of political confrontation ahead of potential elections. The move is likely to deepen political instability and could trigger legal challenges or protests.

Pakistan Imposes Emergency Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Arrests PTI Leadership
