Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) Member Provincial Assembly (MPA) Aneesa Zaib Tahirkheli Friday created history in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa when she became the first ever woman to chair a session of the provincial assembly.

Anisa Zaib Tahirkheli presided over the KP assembly session due to the absence of speaker Asad Qaiser and vacated seat of deputy speaker.

Talking to media before the session, she termed it a great honour for her that she had become first ever female who presided over a “Pakhtun Jirga” (KP Assembly) in the parliamentary history of KP.

All the members of the assembly warmly welcomed her as presiding officer by thumping the desk.

She belongs to Qaumi Watan Party (QWP) and has remained former Federal Minister of State and also Senator.
