The effect of weak annihilation and u-quark penguin contribution on the branching ratio B→K1γ at next-to-leading order of αs are calculated using the LEET approach. It is shown that the value of the LEET form factor remains the same in the range of the unitarity triangle phase α favored by the standard model. The CP-asymmetry for the above mentioned decay has been calculated, and its suppression due to the hard-spectator correction has also been incorporated. In addition, the sensitivity of the CP-asymmetry on the underlying parameters has been discussed.
