A no-confidence motion against Balochistan CM Jam Kamal Alyani will be presented in the provincial assembly session scheduled to be held at 4pm today. The motion has been submitted by 14  members of the ruling Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) who were dissatisfied with the CM Jam Kamal.

In a motion submitted to the assembly secretariat, said that the chief minister had failed to deliver during his three-year tenure and sought the removal of CM Jam Kamal Alyani.

Previously, 16 opposition lawmakers in Balochistan had submitted a no-confidence motion against Chief Minister Jam Kamal demanding him to seek confidence from the assembly.

Moreover, Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) Chief Organiser and MPA Jan Muhammad Jamali said that the “chief minister’s game is over”.

He urged Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan to step down voluntarily.

However, the total strength of Balochistan Assembly members is 65 and for the success of the no-trust movement, only a simple majority of 33 members is required.

On the other hand, Mr Kamal is hopeful to overthrow the no-confidence move against him.

In his tweet posted on Tuesday night, Mr Kamal wrote: “I guess these people have been playing games in Balochistan for a long time. No wonder we are in such a state.

“Balochistan must be a game for Mr Jan Jamali but not Jam Kamal. We have come here to serve and shall till the last day. Kindly carry on your ‘games’.”

Furthermore, Balochistan government spokesperson Liaquat Shahwani said that Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan will not give resignation from his position.

Liaquat Shahwani tweeted that the majority of lawmakers are supporting Jam Kamal Khan and he will not resign as the chief minister.

The spokesperson said that Khan’s majority will be proved on the assembly floor on the day of voting.

Earlier on October 14, Jam Kamal had refused to step down as the chief minister of Balochistan after he held a meeting with Prime Minister Imran Khan amid the deepening political crisis in Balochistan.
