QUETTA: Nawab Sanaullah Khan Zehri, the President of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Balochistan province, has been elected as Chief Minister of Balochistan unopposed on Thursday.
Zehri will replace National Party (NP) leader Dr Abdul Malik Baloch, who has tendered his resignation as CM Balochistan after two and half years on Wednesday.
No other candidate submitted nomination papers for the election of the Leader of the House.
Sanaullah Zehri will take oath as CM at 4:00PM today.
