Former provincial assembly speaker, Mir Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo, was elected unopposed as the new Balochistan chief minister on Friday.
Of the 64 members who were eligible to vote in the election, 39 voted for Bizenjo — six more than the minimum needed — while members of three political parties, as well as an independent MPA, did not cast their votes.
Earlier Bizenjo said, “We will go ahead in consultation with all and take benefit from the experiences of whoever remained the chief minister.”
Bizenjo’s election as the province’s chief executive came after Jam Kamal Khan tendered his resignation to Governor Balochistan Syed Zahoor Ahmad Agha.
Taking to Twitter, Kamal wrote, “And after many thoughts and reasoning and not let Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) put further cracks in us. I put my resignation with a consensus.”
