Ali Mardan Domki has been selected as the caretaker chief minister for Balochistan by a parliamentary panel and a summary in this regard has been approved by Governor Balochistan Malik Abdul Wali Khan Kakar, Geo News reported Friday, citing sources.
The second round of the parliamentary committee was held today as the deadlock between the outgoing provincial government and the opposition of the dissolved Balochistan Assembly persisted over the appointment of a caretaker chief minister.
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 includes Chief Minister Abdul Quddus Bizenjo, Sardar Abdul Rahman Khetran, Engineer Zamrak Khan Achakzai, Muhammad Nawaz Kakar, Abdul Wahid Siddiqui, and Younis Zehri.
According to the sources, Achakzai, Zehri, Siddiqui, and Kakar participated in the meeting of the parliamentary committee called on Thursday night, but failed to reach a consensus.
The sources had said that the meeting of the committee would be held again on Friday in which the members will discuss the names of Ali Hasan Zehri, Naseer Ahmed Bizenjo, Ali Mardan Domki, and Usman Badini for the caretaker chief minister.
