Pakistan: Federal Government Imposes Emergency Rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Pakistan's federal government has imposed emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), suspending the provincial administration led by former PM Imran Khan's party (PTI). This action, confirmed by multiple high-confidence sources, centralizes power and escalates political confrontation ahead of expected elections, with the KP Chief Minister reportedly in protective custody and hundreds arrested. The legal basis and full scope of emergency measures remain contested, raising risks of civil unrest and a constitutional crisis.
