History. 1 of 6 since 1973: only in 2009 did the province go back to the party that was removed.
Hunch. On 11 Oct the information minister said the PTI provincial government works with militants, and its chief minister is now in custody.
The PTI market resolves on notices of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government or the Gazette of Pakistan: YES if by the end of 11 December 2026 a member of PTI is sworn in as chief minister of the province. A governor, a caretaker government or a chief minister from another party at the end of 11 December resolves NO, and Al Jazeera and The Guardian are the backup.
We looked for cases where Pakistan's central government removed the government of one province and put the province under its governor. Military takeovers, when every province changed hands at once, are left out. We found six such times since 1973, and two more in 1949 and 1951, before the present constitution set the two-month steps.
