QUETTA: Former senior minister Balochistan, Mir Zahoor Buledi, former ministers Saleem Khan Khoso, and Arif Jan Muhammad Hassani are all set to join the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). All three former provincial ministers belong to the ruling Balochistan Awami Party (BAP).
“The three former provincial ministers have held a special meeting with PPP supremo Asif Ali Zardari the other day”, sources close to the ministers told Daily Quetta Voice. They requested anonymity.
“Only a formal announcement is remaining”, they revealed. The three former provincial ministers have preferred to hold direct meetings with the PPP supremo instead of contacting the party’s Balochistan leadership, they mentioned. This appears to be a major blow to the ruling BAP in Balochistan since the party is still in power.
Jam Kamal is in contact with PPP
The sources also revealed that a number of politicians including the former chief minister Jam Kamal Khan were also in close contact with PPP leadership. However, they said Jam Kamal Khan has put some conditions with regard to joining the party. Jam Kamal has also held meetings with PPP leader Nawab Sanaullah Zehri and Mir Sadiq Umrani. “We had discussed the political situation and the possible joining of the party”, Mir Sadiq Umrani, the PPP leader told Daily Quetta Voice.
Former Balochistan Mir Asim Kurd Gailo and other political figures from Balochistan have also held meetings with PPP leaders. The recent joining of leaders from Balochistan in the PPP will be having an impact on the 2023 elections in the province.
