\"\"Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate MPA Abdul Khaliq Achakzai has been elected unopposed as the Balochistan Assembly speaker.<\/p>\n

Whereas, the secretary said, Pakistan Peoples Party MPA Ghazala Gola has been elected unopposed as the provincial assembly\u2019s deputy speaker.<\/p>\n

Balochistan Assembly Secretary Tahir Shah Kakar announced this after no opponent came forward against the two MPAs.<\/p>\n

Achakzai and Gola have taken oath, he added.<\/p>\n

They were nominated for the posts of speaker and deputy speaker by their respective parties.<\/p>\n

The newly sworn-in assembly was scheduled to vote for the election of the house\u2019s speaker and deputy speaker today but they were able to secure the post without taking a vote since no other candidate submitted their papers against them by the 12pm deadline set for the submission of papers.<\/p>\n

A total of 57 newly-elected lawmakers were administered oath on Wednesday by Zamrak Khan Achakzai, who was appointed the presiding officer for the maiden session of the provincial legislative.<\/p>\n

As many as 51 members took oath, including the elects from the PPP, PML-N, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl, Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) and others.<\/p>\n

Later, the assembly session was adjourned till Thursday 3pm.<\/p>\n

With a divided provincial assembly, where no political party managed to secure a simple majority in the February 8 polls, the PPP and the PML-N might join hands to form a government in the province as they already have agreed to form a coalition government in the Centre.<\/p>\n
