Talking to reporters on Saturday before the oath-taking ceremony, Zehri said other parties who got majority in KP, Punjab and Sindh had been allowed to form the government and the same formula should be applied in Balochistan.

The PML-N, PkMAP and National Party have agreed to form a coalition government in the province but the chief minister’s office remains the major bone of contention. Being president of the majority party, Sanaullah Zehri is vying for the post, while Dr Abdul Malik of the National Party is also in the field with the backing of Mehmood Khan Achakzai, head of PkMAP.
