Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Faisal Karim Kundi expressed ignorance on Sunday about reports of him potentially being replaced and said he would ?accept? his party?s decision in case of such a scenario.

The KP governor made this statement while speaking to journalists, who sought his comments on his potential replacement.

When one of them said that ?total six names? had surfaced in connection with the matter, Kundi asked: ?Where have they surfaced??

To that, the journalist said they were being reported in the media.

?Now if the media will appoint the governor, then may God have mercy on us,? replied Kundi.

To a question about a possible scenario of his removal, the governor said he would ?accept whatever the party?s decision will be?.

Media reports about Kundi?s potential removal have been circulating lately, which the KP governor had previously denied. Back then, too, he said he would ?accept whatever decision will be taken by the leadership of Pakistan Peoples Party?.

Amid these reports, Kundi also called on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif last week to discuss matters concerning KP, including the imposition of governor?s rule.

At the time, a source in the PM Office said the prime minister expressed full confidence in Kundi and gave signals that the government had no intention of removing him.

The discussion on the occasion covered key administrative issues concerning KP and the country?s overall political situation, during which Federal Minister for Kashmir Affairs Engineer Amir Muqam and Federal Minister for Public Affairs Unit Rana Mubashir Iqbal were also present.

Among them, the issue of imposing governor?s rule in KP was discussed reportedly due to a rigid stance by Chief Minister Sohail Afridi towards the Centre, armed forces and bureaucracy.

Governor Kundi also requested that the prime minister on the occasion to provide KP?s due share in the forthcoming National Finance Commission award.
