In a landslide victory, Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) stalwart Sarfraz Bugti has been elected unopposed as the Chief Minister of Balochistan. The announcement came on Friday as Bugti emerged as the sole candidate for this prestigious position, with no other provincial assembly member submitting nomination papers.
The official voting process to confirm Bugti’s appointment is scheduled for tomorrow (Saturday), where he will need to secure a minimum of 33 votes in the House of 65 members. With his history of public service and political acumen, Bugti is poised to take the helm of Balochistan’s governance.
Bugti’s journey to this significant role has been marked by his previous tenure as the caretaker Interior Minister. He made headlines for his diligent work and commitment to public welfare. Ahead of the recent general elections on February 8, Bugti resigned from his post to pursue this new chapter of leadership.
As the newly-elected Chief Minister of Balochistan, Bugti stands at the cusp of a transformative era for the province, promising to address key issues and steer Balochistan towards progress and prosperity. His unopposed election underscores the confidence and support he enjoys from his party and fellow assembly members.
