Former Balochistan Health Minister, Syed Ehsan Shah, officially merged his Pakistan National Party (PNP) with the Balochistan National Party (Mengal) in a significant development that took place on Tuesday.

During a joint press conference, BNP Chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal, along with Syed Ehsan Shah, made the merger announcement, signifying a unified front in advocating for the rights of Balochistan.

Sardar Akhtar Jan Mengal extended a warm welcome to all those individuals in Balochistan who have yet to determine their political affiliations, urging them to unite their voices in support of Balochistan’s rights.

“I extend my congratulations to Ehsan Shah and his associates for merging their party with BNP,” remarked Sardar Mengal. “I anticipate their commitment to take the Balochistan National Party’s agenda to every doorstep in pursuit of Balochistan’s rights. I am prepared to collaborate with him as a dedicated party member,” he emphasized.

Chairman Asif and other colleagues also joined the BNP on this occasion.

Among those in attendance were Balochistan National Party Central Secretary General Waja Jahanzeb Baloch, Akhtar Hussain Longo, Hamal Kalmati, Ghulam Nabi Murri, Musa Baloch, and various other leaders.

Mengal expressed his commitment to upholding the trust placed in them by Syed Ehsan Shah and his associates. He viewed this merger as an invitation to others who are still deliberating their political allegiances to join this collective effort.
