Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has finalized his new cabinet, comprising 10 ministers, two advisers, and one special assistant.

According to sources, the provincial cabinet will be sworn in today (Friday) at a ceremony scheduled to take place at the Governor House in Peshawar.

KP Governor Faisal Karim Kundi has already signed the summary of the ministers, officials confirmed. The oath-taking ceremony is set to begin at 3:00 pm.

Sources revealed that several cabinet positions were revised after Chief Minister Afridi held a meeting with Aleema Khan, sister of PTI founding chairman Imran Khan, at the KP House in Islamabad.

The meeting reportedly led to the inclusion of Aqib Ullah, brother of former National Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser, in the cabinet at Aleema Khan’s insistence.

Several ministers from the previous cabinet under ex-Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur have been retained, while Faisal Tarkai, brother of Shahram Khan Tarkai, has also returned to the new lineup.

Khaliq Ur Rehman from Nowshera and Ahtasham Ali were also included in the Sohail Afridi cabinet.

Sources added that Aftab Alam from Kohat and Adnan Qadri from Khyber are part of the cabinet.

Muzamil Aslam and Taj Muhammad will serve as advisers to the Chief Minister.

Additionally, Shafi Jan from Kohat would be a special assistant to the KP CM.

Fazal Shakoor from Charsadda and Riyaz Khan from Buner will be provincial ministers, and Dr Amjad from Swat was also included in the cabinet, the sources said.
