Peshawar: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi administered the oath to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MPA Sohail Afridi as the province’s chief minister on Wednesday.
The ceremony, held at the Governor’s House in Peshawar, took place hours after the Peshawar High Court (PHC) ordered Kundi to swear in Afridi by 4pm, declaring his election as chief minister “constitutional.”

Footage from the event showed large crowds surrounding the governor and the newly sworn-in chief minister, who raised a portrait of PTI founder Imran Khan after taking the oath.
Afridi was elected the province’s chief executive on Monday during an assembly session marked by an opposition walkout and uncertainty over the resignation of outgoing Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.
