According to Awarenesspk, a notification from the governor was sent to CM Mahmood and Leader of the Opposition Akram Khan Durran. According to Clause 1 of Article 112 of the Constitution, the KP Assembly and provincial cabinet were dissolved with immediate effect.

The Punjab Assembly (PA) was dissolved over the weekend after Punjab Governor Balighur Rehman apologized at the hearing and said he could not attend the move.
After the dissolution of the PA, CM Mahmood promised to dissolve the CP's provincial parliaments and said Governor Ali would receive a report on January 17.
"A summary of the dissolution of the CCP legislature will be delivered to the governor on Tuesday as directed by leader Imran Khan," the CM said in a tweet.
The statement came during an online meeting at CM House attended by Imran, the KP government, and former KP governor Shah Farman.
On January 15, leading PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif, who was in London for a key party meeting, directed his leaders and workers to begin preparations for the Punjab elections, promising that the federal coalition would not be swayed by the "blackmailed" PTI chiefs would be influenced " by demands for early elections in the country.
According to a party insider, Nawaz was unequivocal about Imran's desire for quick elections in the country. "Nawaz had said...whatever happens, we would not be compelled by Khan's demand. The general elections will be held on time (October-November 2023).”
