What do emergency and governor rule in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa mean?

Pakistan’s federal government has taken direct control of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by imposing a state of emergency after the detention of provincial Chief Minister Sohail Afridi. President Asif Ali Zardari signed a proclamation stating the provincial government could no longer operate under the Constitution, establishing governor’s rule. Faisal Karim Kundi, a PPP member, now assumes the functions of the provincial government, with Parliament, controlled by Sharif’s PML-N and allies, taking over the authority.
