“As promised, the summary for the dissolution of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly has been signed and sent to the governor,” CM Mehmood confirmed in a tweet on Tuesday.

He expressed hope that PTI would emerge victorious with two-third majority in the next elections.

The decision comes days after the Punjab Assembly was dissolved over the weekend, with the governor, Baligh ur-Rehman, excusing himself from the process.

Earlier, the chief minister while chairing a meeting of the provincial government earlier in the day announced that he would send the summary for approval before midnight today [Tuesday].

CM Mahmood during the cabinet meeting thanked the government and opposition lawmakers, as well as members of the civil service, for their service.

Meanwhile, Governor Haji Ghulam Ali said in a statement that the assembly should not be dissolved. But, he added, that if a summary would be sent to him for approval he would not become part of the process of dissolution of the provincial assembly as the Punjab governor did.
