PESHAWAR:
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) announced its new provincial structure for Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) on Tuesday, after dissolving its previous cabinet.
The decision was made at a meeting chaired by newly-appointed Provincial President Anwar Saifullah Khan and other senior leaders.
Earlier on October 2, Anwar Saifullah and a lawmaker from Lakki Marwat, Salim Saifullah Khan, announced the new formation of the party’s provincial cabinet.
Former PPP information secretary and newly-appointed Coordination Secretary Syed Ayub Shah told The Express Tribune that the party’s provincial cabinet is now complete and it would focus to work with the party’s offices across the province.
Shah said that K-P Finance Minister Humayun Khan has been appointed as the new general secretary. Party officials had been hinting towards Humayun’s promotion to general secretary, saying that as Malakand finance minister, the same area as the PPP’s former general secretary Dost Mohammad Khan, they would be able to maintain the party’s influence in the region.
Senior party leader and former Peshawar nazim Azam Khan Afridi and PPP’s parliamentary leader in the K-P Assembly Abdul Akbar Khan have also been appointed senior vice presidents.
Gohar Inqlabi, previous head of the PPP’s student wing Peoples Student Federation, was appointed as the deputy information secretary.
Senior party leader from Hazara Shamroz Khan Jadoon has been given the position of deputy general secretary, while Zulfiqar Afghani is now to head the PPP’s Peshawar chapter.
Following the reorganisation of the party in K-P, the PPP announced that its activists would now visit all districts of the province.
