KP Governor Kundi ‘unware’ about reports of his potential replacement

PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi expressed ignorance on Sunday about reports of him potentially being replaced and said he would “accept” his party’s decision in case of such a scenario.

The KP governor made this statement while speaking to journalists, who sought his comments on his potential replacement.

When one of them said that “total six names” had surfaced in connection with the matter, Kundi asked: “Where have they surfaced?”

To that, the journalist said they were being reported in the media.

“Now if the media will appoint the governor, then may God have mercy on us,” replied Kundi.

To a question about a possible scenario of his removal, the governor said he would “accept whatever the party’s decision will be”. Media reports about Kundi’s potential removal have been circulating lately, which the KP governor had previously denied. Back then, too, he said he would “accept whatever decision will be taken by the leadership of Pakistan Peoples Party”. Amid these reports, Kundi also called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif last week to discuss matters concerning KP, including the imposition of governor’s rule. Monitoring Desk
