Ali Amin Gandapur’s Tenure Among Shortest in KP’s History

APP

Peshawar: Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has resigned from his position, bringing his tenure as Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) to an end after just one year and seven months.

Following the general elections held last year, Gandapur was nominated by his party to lead the province. He was elected as Chief Minister on March 1, 2024, and took the oath of office the next day, on March 2, 2024.

His resignation places him among the five shortest-serving Chief Ministers in KP’s political history — all of whom remained in office for less than two years.

According to official records, the shortest tenure was that of Pir Sabir Shah of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), who held office for only four months and five days, from October 20, 1993, to February 25, 1994.

He was followed by Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), who served for one year, seven months, and 25 days, from December 2, 1988, to August 7, 1990.

Mufti Mahmood, the late leader of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), remained in office for 11 months and 15 days, from March 1, 1972, to February 15, 1973.

The fourth shortest tenure was that of Sardar Inayatullah Gandapur of the PPP, who served for one year, ten months, and 17 days, from April 29, 1973, to February 16, 1975.

With his resignation, Ali Amin Gandapur joins this list of Chief Ministers whose terms lasted less than two years, marking yet another brief chapter in the province’s political history.
