Ali Mardan Domki is nominated as caretaker Balochistan chief minister

QUETTA (NNI): The parliamentary committee set up by the speaker of the dissolved Balochistan Assembly to nominate caretaker chief minister broke the deadlock on Friday and evolved a consensus on the name of Ali Mardan Domki as the interim chief executive of the province.

The members of the parliamentary committee agreed on the name of Ali Mardan Domki during their deliberations on Friday.

In light of the committee’s decision, the BA speaker has forwarded the name of Ali Mardan Domki to the Balochistan governor.

Sources in the Balochistan Assembly secretariat confided that the speaker has sent a summary to the governor for appointment of Ali Mardan Domki as caretaker chief minister of Balochistan.

Sources in Governor’s House have also confirmed receiving a summary from the speaker in this regard.

It may be mentioned here that CM Abdul Qadoos Bizenjo and opposition leader had first developed a consensus on the name of Ali Mardan Domki in their deliberations but somehow the notification for the appointment of the interim CM was held up.

During Thursday’s round of parleys among the members of the parliamentary committee, the deadlock persisted on the nomination of the caretaker chief minister.

The agreement over the interim chief minister came during the second round of the parliamentary committee on Friday.

The first meeting of the parliamentary committee formed by Speaker Balochistan Assembly Mir Jan Muhammad Jamali for the appointment of caretaker chief minister ended without a result on Thursday night.

The panel formed for the selection of caretaker chief minister included Chief Minister Abdul Quddus Bizenjo, Sardar Abdul Rahman Khetran, Engineer Zamrak Khan Achakzai, Muhammad Nawaz Kakar, Abdul Wahid Siddiqui, and Younis Zehri.

Achakzai, Zehri, Siddiqui, and Kakar participated in the meeting of the parliamentary committee called on Thursday night, but failed to reach a consensus. The committee discussed the names of Ali Hasan Zehri, Naseer Ahmed Bizenjo, Ali Mardan Domki, and Usman Badini for the caretaker chief minister slot.

However, in their second round of consultations they agreed on Domki’s name.

Domki belongs to Lahri area of Balochistan and is the son of former senator Mir Hazor Bakhsh Domki who was a senator from 1975 to 1977.
