Earlier, after the consensus among the allies of the Balochistan government on the formula of cabinet formation, the Balochistan government decided to form the provincial cabinet after Eid-ul-Fitr.
“The swearing-in ceremony was scheduled a few days ago but could not be held as Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti had to fly abroad for the medical check-up of his brother,” the Balochistan government spokesperson added.
It is pertinent to mention that Sarfraz Bugti took oath as Balochistan Chief Minister on March 2. 41 MPAs voted in favor of PPP’s candidate Sarfraz Bugti to elect him the Leader of the House in the Balochistan Assembly.
Until now, the Balochistan government was operating without any central provincial cabinet.
