Balochistan assembly session for no-trust motion against CM today 

Quetta: Governor Balochistan Syed Zahoor Ahmad Agha has summoned a session at 4pm today (October 23), where the motion against Chief Minister (CM) Jam Kamal will be tabled, as the political crisis in the province deepens.  

In the non-confidence session against the Balochistan CM, the opposition will be needed a simple majority of 33 members to pass the miss trust motion against Kamal.

As per reports, speaker assembley Abdul Qadus Bazinjeo will chair the session and resentful members including legislators from CM Kamal’s own Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) will submit a miss-trust motion against him.  

As per opposition’, Jam Kamal is required to obtain at least signatures of 14 law makers of his own party on the motion. 

However, Jam Kamal turned to twitter and expressed hope that the movement against him will fail.

Alhamdulillah for me seat, position and status has never been the criteria. Alhamdulillah worked for BAP from the first day and inshallah as a normal member would work more for it.

بی اے پی الحمدللہ برقرار ہے اور آنے والے دنوں میں مزید مضبوط ہوگی۔

On October 11, disgruntled members of the provincial assembly, including lawmakers from CM Kamal's own party and allied parties had submitted a no-confidence motion against him.

As per the submitted appeal, the members said that during the three years of Kamal's term as the chief minister, there has been unemployment, unrest, and frustration in the province.

A similar move was made back on September 14, when as many as 16 MPAs from the Balochistan Assembly had moved a no-confidence motion against CM Kamal, but it was later denied by the Governor House Secretariat on technical grounds.
