Speaker hesitant to convene KP Assembly amid PTI lawmakers’ dissent
PESHAWAR/MANSEHRA: Following the emergence of a dissident group of lawmakers within the ruling PTI, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker Babar Saleem Swati seems reluctant to hold an assembly session, apparently fearing criticism against the provincial government by the party’s own MPAs over the question of Imran Khan’s continued imprisonment.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker Babar Saleem Swati has repeatedly delayed the legislative session, leading to speculation that he is avoiding potential internal party conflict. A growing faction of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawmakers has expressed dissatisfaction with the provincial government, citing grievances over cabinet appointments and the party's strategy regarding the imprisonment of Imran Khan. While the speaker has cited the federal budget as the reason for the latest postponement, insiders suggest the delay is intended to mitigate criticism from within his own ranks. The dissident group, which reportedly includes roughly 30 members, is demanding a more aggressive approach to securing the release of the party's founder. These legislators are calling for a sustained protest movement and improved conditions for Khan, rather than the current sporadic demonstrations. Despite efforts by the provincial leadership to appease these members through development funding, the internal rift continues to complicate the assembly's legislative agenda.
The internal dissent within the ruling party in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa threatens the stability of the provincial government and could significantly alter the political landscape regarding the movement for Imran Khan's release.
