The sources also predict that dissenters and MPAs of National Party and PkMAP would join the United Muslim League while the party will contest next general elections in alliance with the Pakistan Peoples Party and the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl, Express Tribune reported.
It is noteworthy that Pakistan’s land-wise biggest province Balochistan elected its new chief minister in January, this year, surprising political commentators, who were baffled at the fall of, once powerful, Sanaullah Zehri.
Moreover, the election of Sadiq Sanjrani as Senate chairman, who traces his origin to Balochistan, amazed the political observers, as Sanjrani contested as an independent candidate, brushing aside Raja Zafar ul Haq of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz.
