Police register FIR against former KP CM Akram Durrani for 'disturbing' election

E-Paper | July 25, 2026

Bannu police on Saturday registered a first information report against former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Akram Khan Durrani for allegedly creating disturbances during the July 25 general elections.

The report was registered in the Saddar police station on the complaint of sub-inspector Rustam Khan under Sections 506, 186, 171C, 148 and 149 of the Pakistan Panel Code.

According to the FIR, Durrani forcibly tried to enter a women polling station along with his guards and supporters.

He also threatened police and security personnel for stopping him from entering the station, the FIR said.

Police are now trying to arrest the former chief minister.

Durrani was a candidate for the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal and belongs to an influential family in Bannu. He contested the recent general elections from the NA-35 Bannu seat and the PK-90 Bannu-IV seat.

While he won the provincial assembly seat, he lost the national assembly seat to Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan.

Investigate thoroughly, determine evidence against allegations and if proved correct then punish Akram Durrani according to law of the land - no favour for anybody, no matter who they are, law should be sane for all!

If they don't arrest him immediately it will give out very wrong signals....the accountability process is in full swing, anybody and I mean anybody including Imran Khan...if they break the law they get arrested and tried and punished....it is the only way we can fix our society, this nonsense of show of force must be eliminated completely.

That's the change. Independent police regardless of political influence can take such a daring action. This change is required in other provinces especially Punjab.

"Police are now trying to arrest the former chief minister." What does "trying to arrest" mean? Is somebody preventing the police from arresting him? After he is arrested, he will have his day in court and properly represented in his defense.
