Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the leader of JUI-F, is the father of Mehmood. Following weeks of political squabbling, Fazl was instrumental in Monday’s approval of the 26th constitutional amendment.
After extensive discussion with the government, he finally consented to the constitutional amendments, after initially opposing the amendment and siding with the PTI.
Nevertheless, even though the PTI expressed agreement with the draft created following discussions with Fazl, they did not vote for the modification or endorse it.
A post with the caption, “Maulana Asad Mehmood, nominated by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as governor of KP, has removed Governor Faisal Kundi,” was posted on October 21 by a fan account of PTI lawyer Naeem Bukhari. The initial result of Maulana’s agreement with the government is this appointment.
