Pakistan federal govt seizes control of opposition-led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Pakistan's federal government invoked a constitutional provision to take administrative control of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, citing a severe breakdown of law and order due to militant violence. The move replaces the provincial opposition government with a federally appointed official, escalating political tensions. The constitutional basis and the extent of the security threat remain contested, with implications for provincial autonomy and political stability.
