The oath-taking ceremony was held at the Governor’s House in Quetta, attended by Balochistan Assembly speaker and provincial assembly members.
Balochistan Governor Muhammad Khan Achakzai administered the oath to Kamal.
Kamal was elected as chief minister of the province on Saturday after defeating Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal’s Mir Yunas Aziz Zehri.
Newly elected Balochistan Assembly Speaker Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo chaired the session to elect the chief minister.
Kamal is the third person from his family to be elected chief minister of the province. His grandfather, Jam Mir Ghulam Qadir Khan, was first elected as chief minister of the province from Lasbela in 1972 from the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) platform. He was named the chief minister of the province again in 1985, but had fought the electoral race as an independent candidate.
Later his son and Kamal’s father, Jam Mir Mohammad Yousuf, served as the provincial chief minister from 2002 to 2007. He died of a heart attack in 2013.
Kamal is now the third generation of his family to serve on the top post.
