Balochistan Assembly session convenes on October 29
Governor Balochistan, Syed Zahoor Agha has convened the session of the provincial assembly on October 29 at 10 am in the morning. During the session, the election of the leader of the house would be conducted.
The governor has convened the session after his meeting with BAP’s nominated candidate for the slot of CM ship, Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo. The ruling party nominated its candidate for leader of the house after the resignation of Jam Kamal Khan as the CM of Balochistan.
Nomination papers for CM
