  "textContent": "The expansion of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa cabinet has been delayed as Chief Minister Sohail Afridi faces mounting pressure from lawmakers and party leadership, sources said.\n\nAccording to officials, finalising the cabinet has become a key political challenge, with efforts underway to maintain balance among stakeholders. The chief minister has decided to consult all relevant parties before announcing the final lineup. Several names are currently under consideration, and the list is still being revised.\n\nSources added that the cabinet may be expanded in phases, with around 10 to 13 ministers, advisers, and special assistants expected to be appointed. Portfolios are likely to be distributed based on merit and regional representation, while the inclusion of technocrats for specific departments is also being considered.\n\nSpecial Assistant for Information Shafi Jan confirmed that the matter has not yet been finalised, indicating that consultations are still ongoing.\n\nThe post KP cabinet expansion delayed amid political pressures appeared first on HUM News.",
