Adhering to the ouster of Balochistan’s previous chief minister Nawab Sanaullah Zehri in 2018, Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo, that comes from the insurgency-hit location of Awaran, served as chief minister from January 13, 2018 to June 7, 2018. He had actually submitted the no-confidence activity against the effective Nawab, who resigned after reading the writing on the wall surface that he no longer might stand versus the power that remain in the country that had determined to uncrown him. Bizenjo won the chess game without probably knowing just how to play it.
3 years on as well as he once more has actually become Balochistan CM after the ouster of former chief minister Jam Kamal Khan Alyani in a similar style. Bizenjo was elected unopposed on October 29, 2021. He emerged successful, in words of a resting minister, for he is the weakest politician that suits every person around us.
Bizenjo’s second term is indicated to remedy all that has failed during his initial stint as chief minister of the province back in 2018. At the time when the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was being humbled in Balochistan, the Pakistan Peoples Event (PPP) wanted to make the most of the situation by hobnobbing with the safety facility in the district before formation of the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP).
Consequently, Asif Ali Zardari sent his close aide Qayyum Soomro but he returned empty-handed when the BAP was created over night in order to rule the province. Rather than joining the PPP, the majority of Balochistan-based electables joined the BAP that went on to create Alyani-led rural federal government, allied with the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), the celebration judgment at Centre.
Currently political experts believe that Zardari wants to reset the program of what had actually gone wrong some years back. It is consequently, resources near Nawab Sanaullah Zehri assert, the PPP leadership asked the Nawab to remain in contact with Bizenjo despite the fact that the last had played a role in his ouster. Surprisingly, he as well as other politicians, consisting of retired Lt Gen Qadir Baloch that together with him had recently signed up with the PPP, are now commonly seen around Bizenjo, showing that the Nawab has complied with the recommendations of the party leadership.
Both of them were with the PML-N and give up the event for being anti-establishment. Insiders in the BAP share with Dawn that their party, specifically the Bizenjo-led group, may join the PPP if they are asked to do so prior to the following general political elections.

Prof Mohammad Arif, that instructs at the University of Balochistan, is of the opinion that whoever develops a government at Centre forms a federal government in Balochistan, but the previous is least worried about concerns of the sparsely booming province as a result of their handful of seats in the National Assembly.
However this is not practically numbers, yet also priorities. Bizenjo won his provincial setting up seat in the 2013 general political elections with a simple 544 votes– the lowest ever received by a rural setting up prospect– as well as likewise served as replacement audio speaker of the Balochistan Assembly from June 2013 to December 2015 prior to ending up being the chief minister in 2018 for 5 months.
Expert Jalal Noorzai, that is unhappy over the ouster of the Alyani federal government despite all defects, believes no one verified any type of corruption fee against the individual that acted as centimeters for over three years. Resources near to Alyani concur he had actually also declined to accept a mega contract– worth Rs20 billion– of Senate chairman Sadiq Sanjrani and various other businessmen legislators being in Islamabad. That is what cost him his seat, as Sanjrani remained to lobby against him in the corridors of power. Alyani, as well, has actually shown his thunder on his twitter account against them, consisting of MNAs from the PTI.
The case of Balochistan’s national politics is curious: everybody, including the Baloch nationalists, are on one page, in terms of being given the share. This is why Baloch nationalists under the Balochistan National Party (BNP) umbrella too rally around Bizenjo nowadays for their share of the pie. Sanaullah Baloch is rallying harder around both centimeters Bizenjo and also Us senate chairman Sanjrani as it is claimed the BNP is provided 2 portfolios, as well as within BNP they are attempting to encourage their party leader Sardar Akhtar Mengal to permit them to take the share of the pie.
That is Bizenjo?
Hailing from Awaran, as well as the oldest child out of five siblings, Mr Bizenjo was born in 1974 and also completed his very early education from his indigenous town of Jhao, later making a master’s level in English from the College of Balochistan in 2000.
His late father Abdul Majid Bizenjo was elected three times from the exact same Awaran constituency. Like his daddy, it is his third time he has actually been elected from Awaran. It is interesting to note he was elected first time from Awaran, and he joined the government of Jam Mohammad Yousaf, papa of Mr Alyani, in 2002, under the dictatorial days of General Pervez Musharraf. Jan Mohammad is the first chief minister of Balochistan who finished his five years’ period.
In 2013, he was chosen on a PML-Q ticket and also signed up with Nawab Aslam Raisani’s closet. In 2018, he was reelected from Awaran. But regrettably, his native town Jhao in Awaran bears a deserted look in the 21st century, where individuals still do not have fundamental centers staying in their mud-walled residences, not to mention the roads, regardless of being elected from there for over thirty years.
