QUETTA: Most of the political parties contesting coming Senate elections from Balochistan completed their final lists of candidates and announced their names on Saturday.
The founder of the ruling Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) in the province, Saeed Ahmed Hashmi, was among the party candidates who were awarded party tickets. Mr Hashmi will contest Senate election for a seat reserved for technocrats as he is a mining engineer by profession. Earlier, he has remained a member of the Senate twice.
BAP secretary general Manzoor Ahmed Kakar and former home minister Mir Sarfaraz Ahmed Bugti have also succeeded in getting party ticket for the second time.

ISLAMABAD: Tension ruled the Senate on the first day of year 2021 with senators from the two sides of the aisle locking horns over the issue of performance of the anti-corruption watchdog and process of accountability.
During a debate on the performance of the National Accountability bureau (NAB), the opposition members rejected the process of accountability as one-sided and accused the government of using it for witch-hunt of its opponents. Members from the treasury benches responded by saying the opposition was trying to exert pressure on the government to force it to stop pursuing corruption cases against its leaders, who had amassed wealth through commissions and kickbacks, laundered money and stashed it in banks abroad.
