I remain highly indebted to him for his confidence in me and for the opportunity to contribute to the transformation and uplift of the Education Department and system in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.\u201d<br \/>\nBoth ministers are close relatives of senior PTI figures , Aqib Ullah is the brother of former National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser, while Faisal Tarakai is the brother of former minister Shahram Tarakai. Sources indicate that CM Gandapur had been considering removing both ministers for some time, and the resignations may have been prompted by internal pressure following his meeting with Imran Khan.<br \/>\nThe latest development marks a turning point in the province\u2019s political dynamics and could signal a broader realignment within the PTI-led government in KP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PESHAWAR Two key ministers in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) cabinet tendered their resignations on Tuesday, just a day after Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur held a detailed meeting with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founding chairman Imran Khan at Adiala Jail.
