Pakistan moves toward governor rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Pakistan's federal government is weighing emergency measures and governor rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the northwestern province governed by Imran Khan's party. Analysts are explaining what these constitutional options would mean: emergency rule allows the centre to direct provincial administration, while governor rule would transfer powers from the provincial government to the governor. The debate touches on centre-province tensions and the standing of Khan's PTI.
Why now: The federal government's move against a province run by Imran Khan's party has major constitutional and political implications.
