QUETTA – Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo’s name has been finalised for the slot of Balochistan chief minister, days after Nawab Sanaullah Zehri resigned in the wake of a no-trust move against him in the provincial assembly, sources said.
The decision to this effect was taken during an important meeting held at the residence of a senior politician and former senator, Saeed Ahmed Hashmi on Thursday evening, sources added.
Bizenjo played a front-line role in submitting the no-confidence motion against Zehri on January 2.
Bizenjo belongs to the troubled Awaran district of Balochistan and was elected on a PML-Q ticket during general elections 2013. He won the seat, obtaining only 544 of the 57,666 registered votes in the constituency as turnout was an abysmal 1.18 percent since the separatists had called for a boycott of the elections.

Former chief ministers Sardar Saleh Bhootani and Jan Muhammad Jamali, who were among strong candidates for the slot, were also present during the meeting which reached a consensus to nominate Bizenjo.
The PML-N-led coalition government in Balochistan faced a serious crisis after several lawmakers joined hands with the opposition parties for tabling a no-confidence motion against Zehri.
