Process of filing nomination papers begins for new CM Balochistan

QUETTA, JAN 12 (DNA) – : The process for filing nomination papers by candidates for the new chief minister of Balochistan has been underway on Friday.

The nomination papers are to be submitted before 3pm today as the provincial assembly session has been summoned tomorrow (Saturday) to elect a new leader of the house.

After a no-trust motion against him, Zehri had resigned from his position and submitted resignation to Balochistan Governor Muhammad Khan Achakzai on Tuesday afternoon, who forthwith accepted it.

Following the resignation of the chief minister, the Balochistan government issued a notification which read: “Consequent upon the resignation of the Chief Minister Balochistan, the provincial ministers and advisers to the chief minister shall also cease to hold their office with immediate effect.”

With the opposition out of the process, the disgruntled group within the PML-N is set to nominate a new leader of the house.
