GILGIT: Former Gilgit-Baltistan chief minister Khalid Khurshid Khan received a lifetime ban from contesting in elections and heading the PTI’s regional chapter on Thursday. The decision from the GB’s election commission came in response to a petition filed by PTI worker Rehman Darelo.

Mr Khurshid, who served as the GB chief minister from November 2020 to July 2023, was disqualified by a three-judge bench of the Gilgit-Baltistan Chief Court in July.
