There have been reports of differences within the ranks of Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) over the nomination of Jam Kamal for the chief minister’s slot.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Balochistan chapter, Balochistan National Party (BNP Mengel) and BAP have expressed reservation on Jahangir Tareen’s announcement backing Kamal as the candidate.
They say the right to take decisions pertaining to the provincial matters rests with the Balochistan leadership. PTI parliamentary group members, on the other hand, claim they were not taken into confidence over the matter.
The development came a day after winning candidates of the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) had announced their “unconditional support” for PTI.
