National Party nominates Malik Baloch as parliamentary leader in Balochistan

Baloch had earlier said that the CM should be from PML-N, but is also in the race for the seat.

National Party (NP) president Dr Abdul Malik Baloch was nominated by his party as their parliamentary leader in Balochistan on Saturday.

Earlier, the Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party, Awami National Party and NP had thrown their weight behind Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) for the formation of the new provincial government.

Dr Baloch is also in the race to become the new chief minister of Balochistan.

Baloch had further revealed that his party had tried to form an electoral alliance with Sardar Akhtar Mengal’s Balochistan National Party-Mengal but it couldn’t materialise. Mengal has rejected the election results while doubting the whole electoral process which, he alleges, was fixed by the ‘establishment’.
