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’.

In the present circumstances, the best choice as he has great support from the Pakhtun nationalists as well who emerged as the biggest party in the provincial assembly. Great responsibility rests on his shoulders now. Fighting corruption should be his top priority.
Great decision on behalf of NS. Kudos. Lets hope that he is able to address the grievances of the Balochis.
Dr is a well educated and been experienced as low ranked family, he can understand the people what they want and the great job which he has done for the education in Balochistan is really appreciated
a statesmanly decision by MNS , inspite of having the moral lincense to bring his own CM , he has done the best thing possible by bringing a progressive baloch nationalist who is not a tribal chief... hope Mr Malik proves this to be a watershed moment in the centre-baloch relations....
A very good decision. PkMAP has done a great job by supporting dr Maalik Baloch. Hopefully Dr Maalik Baloch will lessen the woes of Balochistan and would also alleviate the sufferings of all residents of Balochistan.
quite a statesmanly decision by MNS , inspite of having the mandate to bring CM frm his own party , he has done the best thing possible by bringing a nationalis who is both progressive and and a non-feudal , so he knows reality from the basics
Good decision. PMLN should be appreciated for this generous attitude and right thinking towards nation's interest.
Zabardast, Thank You Nawaz Sharif, your actions speak louder than all the words around !!
Great News,,, Hopefully Dr Malik Baloch will be successful to lessen the critical situation in the province by collaborating with our Pashthoon brothers. No Sardar, Nawab etc would be leading this time around as all of them merely played with Balochistan. Dr Sahab is from middle class family and somewhat knows what Baloch wants... Best Wishes to Dr
