Reason -
when a potassium salt solution is electrolyzed it form hydrogen gas at cathode instead of potassium metal.
when the ions get separated during electrolysis, H+ and K+ ions migrate to cathode but since H+ lies below K+ ion in activity series of metals , H+ ions get discharged at cathode and therby forms hydrogen gas
