Aimal Wali Khan - the incumbent president of Awami National Party (ANP) for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa - clinched the position of the party's central president unopposed during a momentous general council meeting held at the revered Bacha Khan Centre in Peshawar.
Under the astute chairmanship of Chief Election Commissioner Iftikhar Hussain, the ANP's top brass convened to witness the seamless transition of leadership, with Aimal ascending to the helm unchallenged.
Remarkably, no other contender vied for the prestigious post, signifying a unified mandate behind Aimal's leadership.
Sources close to the proceedings revealed that Aimal's nomination was propelled by the esteemed ANP luminary, Haider Khan Hoti.
Aimal Wali Khan, stepping into the shoes of his father, the venerable Asfandyar Wali Khan, who formerly held the reins of the party presidency.
Notably, Asfandyar Wali Khan, amidst a hiatus from active political involvement, refrained from participating in the recent February 8 general elections.
Meanwhile, ANP's central spokesperson, Zahid Khan, tendered his resignation from his esteemed position a day before the electoral spectacle. Declaring his abstention from the upcoming intra-party elections, Zahid cited divergent political ideologies as the impetus behind his decision.
