Summary

Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari declared a state of emergency in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and suspended its provincial government, controlled by Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, on October 11, 2026. The federal government cited the provincial administration's alleged failure to counter militant attacks and coordinate on security matters. The emergency measure came ahead of a planned PTI march to Islamabad demanding Khan's release. Military forces were deployed to the region, and security measures including roadblocks, shipping containers placed on roads leading to Peshawar's Red Zone, and arrests of PTI activists were implemented. An advisory council and governor were appointed to oversee provincial affairs for at least six months. The PTI, represented by Zulfiquar Bukhari, denied the federal government's allegations and condemned the emergency as a "disguised coup," contending that Islamabad had denied the province necessary resources and security equipment. The federal government asserted the provincial leaders neglected counter-terrorism efforts, while the PTI argued they lacked adequate federal support.
