In a significant development, Ali Mardan Domki has been named as the interim Chief Minister of Balochistan. This decision was reached after extensive discussions by the members of the parliamentary committee during their second round of talks on Friday.
The formation of this committee came after three days of unsuccessful negotiations between the outgoing Balochistan Chief Minister, Abdul Quddus Bizenjo, and the Opposition Leader in the dissolved Balochistan Assembly, Malik Sikandar Khan.
The six-member parliamentary committee includes Abdul Quddus Bizenjo, Zamrak Achakzai, and Sardar Abdul Rehman Khetran from the government side, while Abdul Wahid Siddiqui, Younus Zehri, and Ahmed Nawaz represent the opposition side.
Ali Mardan Domki hails from the Lahri area of Balochistan and is the son of former senator Mir Hazor Bakhsh Domki, who served as a lawmaker from 1975 to 1977.
It is important to note that on August 12, Balochistan Governor Malik Abdul Wali Kakar dissolved the provincial assembly upon the advice of Chief Minister Abdul Quddus Bizenjo.
