Provincial elections were held in the North-West Frontier Province to elect the members of the 9th Provincial Assembly of North-West Frontier Province on 18 February 2008, 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. These were the last elections held under the provincial name "North-West Frontier Province", later changed to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa following the Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution of Pakistan.

The elections resulted in a hung parliament with the Awami National Party (ANP) being the largest party. The ANP was able to form a coalition government with the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) after winning reserved seats for women and non-Muslims, and their candidate for the Chief Minister position, Haider Khan Hoti, was elected unopposed.[2] [3]

Furthermore, Kiramat Ullah Khan of the PPP and Khush Dil Khan of the ANP were elected as the Speaker and Deputy Speaker, respectively Moreover, former Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) became the Leader of the Opposition.[4]
