• Argues stepping down lacked ‘free will’ and therefore has no legal effect

ISLAMABAD: Estranged PTI leader Sher Afzal Khan Marwat on Thursday approached the Federal Constitutional Court (FCC) against the resignation of Ali Amin Gandapur, who stepped down as chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) on directives allegedly issued by jailed PTI founder Imran Khan.
The petition, filed under Article 175(E) of the Constitution, sought a declaration from the FCC that the resignation letters submitted by Ali Amin Gandapur on Oct 8 and 11, 2025, were made under the unconstitutional dictation of a convicted and disqualified individual and therefore lacked legal volition, rendering them legally ineffective.
