Provincial elections were held in the Pakistani province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to elect the members of the 10th Provincial Assembly of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on 11 May 2013, alongside nationwide general elections and three other provincial elections in Sindh, Balochistan and Punjab. The remaining two territories of Pakistan, AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan, were ineligible to vote due to their disputed status.
Background
In the 2008 elections, the ANP, a secular, leftist and Pashtun nationalist party, won the elections, prompting them to form a coalition government with the centre-left Pakistan Peoples Party. https://www.dawn.com/news/291614 PESHAWAR: ANP, PPP to have equal ministers in 'small' cabinet Dawn.com 2008-03-01 2018-03-01
This coalition government was said to be riddled with corruption and poor governance, leading to common mistrust with the government. http://fp.brecorder.com/2012/12/201212161268533/ Poor performance, rampant corruption: ANP, PPP coalition government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa may not retain previous positions Amin Tahir Business Recorder 2012-12-16 2018-03-01
