- Pakistan's president declared a state of emergency on Sunday and suspended the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), the last province still held by jailed former PM Imran Khan's PTI party.
- The suspension strips KP's elected provincial administration of all its powers under the emergency declaration announced on October 11 from Islamabad.
Why it matters: PTI loses its last remaining executive platform at the provincial level, with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's elected administration stripped of its powers and placed under direct emergency rule from Islamabad following the president's October 11 emergency declaration — a move that eliminates Khan's party from government entirely.
