PESHAWAR: Governor Faisal Karim Kundi and Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur met briefly on Friday before the oath-taking ceremony of the Acting Chief Justice of the Peshawar High Court Justice SM Atiq Shah at the Governor’s House.
Sources told Geo News, the meeting lasted for 10 minutes and both appeared to be in a pleasant mood.
They said the governor made some remarks directed at the chief minister. Kundi reportedly asked Gandapur: “What is happening in PTI? You have even expelled Sher Afzal Marwat. I feel sorry for him.” Kundi added, “The chief minister, hasn’t your government staged a protest against itself in Swabi?” The sources said the chief minister responded with an unusual smile at the governor’s remarks.
It is worth noting that Gandapur and Kundi have had a contentious relationship, marked by public disputes and political rivalry.
Both hail from the southern Dera Ismail Khan district and represent opposing political parties. The tension between the two became evident in May 2024, shortly after Kundi was appointed governor. Gandapur did not attend Kundi’s oath-taking ceremony, signaling his disapproval.
However, despite these conflicts, there have been instances where both leaders met to discuss key provincial issues, including law and order and provincial rights.
