ISLAMABAD: A recent Gallup Pakistan survey has revealed deep public dissatisfaction with the performance of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government, as 50 percent of respondents across the province rated Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif’s governance better than that of KP Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur – including 37 percent of PTI’s own voters.
Gallup Pakistan survey, conducted between February and March 2025 with face-to-face interviews of 3,000 individuals, highlights a growing trend of public trust shifting towards Punjab’s leadership.
Gallup’s findings indicate rising frustration in KP over governance, economy, and basic services, while the popularity of CM Gandapur continues to decline.
Only 63 percent of people have access to healthcare, with rural and southern KP areas showing worse conditions. Sixty-six percent lack gas access, and 49 percent face power shortages or unreliable supply. –Agencies
