The Balochistan Assembly formally elected National Party (NP) chief Dr Abdul Malik Baloch as the chief minister of the province on Sunday.

Dr Baloch will take oath of his office at 6 pm at the Governor House today.

Earlier on Saturday, Baloch was elected unopposed as the chief minister of Balochistan.

Dr Baloch was the joint candidate of three parties — the NP, Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakhtunkhwa Milli Awami Party — but after the support extended to him by the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam – Fazl (JUI-F) he became a consensus candidate of all parties in the Balochistan Assembly.

Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif had nominated him for the post after meeting leaders of allied parties in Murree last week.

Dr Malik was the only one to have filed his nomination papers in the assembly secretariat for the chief minister’s election.

His candidature was proposed by Nawab Mohammad Khan Shahwani and seconded by Rehmat Baloch of the National Party.

Talking to reporters on Saturday, Dr Baloch said his coalition government would adopt all possible measures for improving law and order and providing basic facilities to the people of the province.

“I am very thankful to all political parties who have nominated me for the office of chief minister.” He said he would take along all parties in running the affairs of the province.
