The Jirga will be jointly hosted by Chief Minister Sohail Afridi and Speaker Babar Saleem Swati. Signifying the seriousness of this initiative, a parliamentary delegation from the ruling PTI party formally extended an invitation to the Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Faisal Karim Kundi, to participate.

Key political entities, including Jamaat-e-Islami, have also announced their participation, highlighting a broad consensus among parties regarding the gravity of the province’s security situation. This Jirga is expected not only to discuss security issues but also to test the level of unity among political leaders in formulating an effective, long-term strategy for enduring peace.
