Pakistan Imposes Emergency and Governor's Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province
Pakistan declared a state of emergency and imposed governor's rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a province governed by former Prime Minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. The federal government cited deteriorating law and order and failure to address militancy as reasons. Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and other PTI leaders were detained amid ongoing protests demanding Khan's release. The military was authorized to assist civil administration, and the province's governance shifted to federal control, sparking political tensions and public unrest.
