No-confidence motion to be tabled against CM Jam Kamal today

QUETTA: A no-confidence motion against Balochistan Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan will be submitted today (Wednesday) as the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) president refuses to give in to pressure.
Today will be an important day for the province as the dissident MPAs will present a no-confidence motion in the provincial assembly, seeking to end Jam Kamal’s tenure.
Jan Muhammad Jamali, the head of the dissident group within the BAP, had said that he had advised the chief minister to resign one week earlier.
Reacting to Jamali’s statement, the Balochistan chief minister said these people have been playing games in the province for a long time.
In his tweet, the chief minister said, “Balochistan must be a game for Jan Jamali but not for Jam Kamal.”
“We have come here to serve and shall till the last day. Kindly carry on your games,” he added.
The no-confidence motion against Balochistan CM Jam Kamal Khan will be presented in the provincial assembly session scheduled to be held at 4pm today.
As many as 14 opposition lawmakers, including 11 disgruntled MPAs of BAP and three from allied parties, had submitted a no-confidence motion against the chief minister last month in the Balochistan Assembly.
The splinter group in BAP claimed to have secured the support of 40 MPAs in the provincial assembly. On the other hand, CM Jam Kamal Khan, apparently, had the support of 26 lawmakers.
Balochistan government spokesperson Liaquat Shahwani, however, Wednesday claimed to have the majority in the House and reiterated that the CM will not resign from his post.
He maintained that they will prove their majority on the assembly floor during the voting process.
