Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) MPA Ali Amin Gandapur was elected as the 22nd chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Friday. 

He secured a total of 90 votes while his rival PML-N candidate Dr Abdullah got 16 votes.

After being elected Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister, PTI’s Ali Amin Gandapur in his first speech lamented the “injustice and cruelty” imposed on party leadership, including Imran Khan and party workers.

“We need to change this precedent; today it happens with us, tomorrow it will happen with someone else. The nation will hold us accountable, and we will need to give answers,” he said.

Ali Amin Gandapur also praised Imran Khan for “giving Pakistan a better standing in the world” and said the incarcerated leader was correct in saying that Pakistan was not free but shackled in slavery.
