Governor's rule, from West Punjab in 1949 to KP today
Geo dates the first governor's rule to West Punjab on 25 January 1949, records earlier spells in what is now KP, and ends with the imposition of 11 October 2026.
Geo says the first governor’s rule was in West Punjab from 25 January 1949 to April 1951, after Liaquat Ali Khan dismissed Chief Minister Nawab Mamdot and the assembly was dissolved.
The same chronology records governor’s rule in what is now KP from February to May 1975, and again from February to April 1994.
It ends with 11 October 2026, when President Asif Ali Zardari imposed governor’s rule in KP on the advice of the federal government.
