In a statement issued after a meeting between Gandapur and Khan at Adiala Jail, KP government spokesperson Mohammad Saif said the two leaders had discussed various matters related to an upcoming SIFC meeting, the Senate elections, law and order situation, and other political matters.

On security in KP, said Saif, Khan had directed the chief minister “to continue cooperating with security agencies on security-related matters.” He said Gandapur had also briefed Khan on the restoration of the Sehat Card and the Ramzan package provided by the provincial government.
According to the spokesperson, the PTI founder approved the party’s candidates for the upcoming Senate elections from KP.
