“Transparent elections play a key role in social development. There have been questions about the transparency of the electoral process in Balochistan,” Dr. Malik Baloch said.

“Take note of the negative role of the government and administration in the local body elections to be held by the Election Commission,” he added.

He said that no one can compete with the National Party in fair and transparent elections.

These views were expressed by the Central President of the National Party, former Chief Minister of Balochistan while talking to various delegations at the National Party Kech Secretariat.

He described the people who were forcibly elected and given power in the 2018 general elections.

He destroyed Balochistan in nepotism and bigotry and this process is still going on.

He said that the differences in the ruling class were personal and group. The two groups are the same who together have ruined Balochistan and now they want to play a new game by blaming each other.

He said that the people of Balochistan are well aware of their role and actions. Now this gang can no longer deceive the Baloch people. He urged the Election Commission to take steps to ensure fair and transparent elections. Be careful that they do not sabotage the local body elections at the behest of the government.

He said that the Election Commission does not have its own manpower and it does all its work with the administration so it is difficult to maintain transparency in the election process.

He said that the National Party would not tolerate any undue interference in the upcoming local body elections. The establishment of local bodies is a basic requirement for the stability of the country.
