“Establishing peace, ending corruption and immediately conducting local bodies election will be the top priorities of our government,” Khattak said in a joint press conference with coalition partners Jamat Islami (JI) and Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) leaders.
Implementing uniform education system throughout the province, providing better health facilities in government hospitals and reforms in police system will also be dealt on a priority basis, Khattak said.
PTI, JI and QWP have agreed to work on one agenda for the development of K-P and its people, he added.
“Imran Khan had personally asked us to form a coalition with PTI in the government,” said QWP central president Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao and JI Central naib Ameer Sirajul Haq.
"We had presented our agenda to PTI's senior leadership and it's only upon their agreement that we are announcing our partnership with the political party," Sherpao said.
“Our conditions were the rehabilitation of militancy affected people, establishment of a trust which will financially assist the affected families and the settlement of the issue of net-hydel profit with federal government,” Sherpao said.
On whether PTI plans to halt NATO supply to the region, Khattak said the issue will be discussed in the assembly and will be decided upon accordingly.
Earlier, PTI had staged protests against the NATO supply line and had asked the then Awami National Party (ANP) government to halt it.

First of all, the Drone attacks issue would be raised in the National Assembly as the FATA is administered by the Federal Government not by the Provincial Government, and PTI is in opposition in the NA, so it would probably raise the point there, Second point is for the knowledge of just_someone PTI has retained education ministry with itself, JI has only finance, and Ushr zakat ministries, and JI is not party of the illiterates, for your kind information information they are all the highly educated and well organised people, but I am sure are not from KPK thats you can make such lame judjement. And at the end, its a request to all, for God sake, avoid your so called judgement, just wait for their government formation and the see how they implement their policies. Thanks.
Question is .... Would you table the resolution in the assembly to stop NATO supply line with immediate effect ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE SESSION??
Considering your pre election stance and noises that is what you should do and execute.
it is too early too judge.pti and ji are 2 parties with no corruption charges on them.in coalition you have to cooperate with others.who else would you like to see Khan sit with ??? fazlurrehman maybe??? give them some time to settle and perform then say whatever u all want to.if you have stood with khan so far then be patient and have faith. and who says JI is getting education ministry.thats a rumour.
Very disappointing decision by PTI to sit with JI which denied voting rights to women and to see a very young probable chief minister of KPK nominated by PTI, so much for claiming to be aprty of young blood
Their sole agenda is to handover KP to Taliban and work as their B team.
Swimming pool tsunami....
get the terrorist out of that area, drones will stop.Simple!! you keep monsters in your backyard and cannot control them than someone else will have to control them if these monsters annoy them. but by simply giving statements no one can stop the drones.
On educational reforms my one paisa opinion is that please focus on vocational & technical education. Plumbing, electrician, drillers & mining engineering based skills are more employable. As Pashtoonkhwa is at war it would be hard to bring any investment here. Never the less every MPA shall establish at least one factory to create jobs. The least PTI can do is to be honest to Pashtoons & tell us the causes of drone attacks, how many people are killed by drones & how many are killed by army operations.
Wasn't Pervaiz Khattak a former ANP, PPP & QWP member? He also lost to Asad Qaiser in "free & fair" intra-party elections.
"Naya Pakistan"?
Imran is really becoming a politician (and I mean that as an insult). He gave the education ministry to people who have no education themselves and actively want to stop education!
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) Jamat Islami (JI) and Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) get united to govern KP is good news Now priority must be given to stop Drone attacks surprisingly there are no more for the time being! and Nato suply must be negociated to get more money or Halted completly! The Time has come to test Mr Imran Khan Sahib it is Allah's given opportunity to command & govern strategicaly important frontier Province KP and FATA even if khan sahib has been selected by the peoples as Prime Minister same work has to be done good luck
I actually did some research. I went to various sites and collected statistical data of various aspects of government including education, health and crime(terrorism included), in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. I am going to do this exercise again five years later and then compare the results.
