QUETTA: A no-trust move against Balochistan Chief Minister Abdul Quddus Bizenjo was dismissed on technical grounds as the movers failed to produce the required members in the house.
At least 13 MPAs were required to be produced in the support of the no-confidence motion but only 11 members backed the resolution seeking to remove the incumbent chief minister.
The no-trust motion stood ineffective after lacking the required support.
Earlier, the Balochistan Assembly session, which was summoned this morning at 10:00 am for tabling the no-trust motion, started after five hours delay from the scheduled time.
It is pertinent to mention here that Abdul Quddus Bizenjo held the rein of the provincial government in October last year after the then chief minister, Balochistan Jam Kamal Khan tendered his resignation ahead of voting on a no-confidence motion.
Earlier, PTI leader Yar Muhammad Rind while confirming the no-trust move claimed that they have the required numbers and the no-trust move against Bizenjo will succeed. “Quddus Bizenjo has disappointed people and elected representatives of the province,” he said.
When asked who will replace the incumbent CM, he said that all parties will appoint a candidate after consultation and currently they are focused on removing Bizenjo.
Meanwhile, a spokesperson to CM Balochistan earlier said that the vote of no-confidence against CM Abdul Quddus Bazenjo will be defeated.
It is to be mentioned here that only one chief minister has completed his tenure in the 49 years of parliamentary history of Balochistan.
