PESHAWAR – Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Haji Ghulam Ali on Saturday appointed former provincial chief secretary Azam Khan as the interim chief minister of the country's northwestern region.
The outgoing members of the KP government and the opposition on Friday unanimously nominated former bureaucrat Azam Khan as the caretaker chief minister of the region.
KP CM Mahmood Khan and opposition leader Akram Durrani announced the name for the coveted post during a joint presser. Earlier, two others members including Zafarullah Khan and Sahibzada Saeed were also considered.
