Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CM Afridi Insists on Long March, Vows to Prevent May 9 Repeat

October 3, 2026 • 1 month ago •

PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi reaffirmed his commitment to proceed with the long march scheduled for October 4, emphasizing the need to avoid a recurrence of the violent events that transpired on May 9.

Afridi’s statements were made ahead of a crucial round of negotiations between the government and opposition, set to take place today at 2 PM in the Speaker’s Chambers. The first round of talks allowed both parties to outline their positions on various issues, including the planned long march.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party initially announced the long march to Islamabad for September 27, protesting what they termed the “illegal imprisonment” of their founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan. However, the march was postponed just days prior to its original date, now set for October 4.

In a post on social media platform X, CM Afridi asserted that PTI remains the largest and most popular political party in Pakistan, highlighting the constitutional right to peaceful protest in a democratic nation.
