Quetta: Chief Minister Jam Kamal Khan Alyani of the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) has tendered his resignation, media reports said on Monday.
Governor Syed Zahoor Ahemd Agha has also accepted his resignation.
The provincial cabinet now stands dissolved.
The former CM in his written resignation was quoted as saying by Dawn News: “I, Jam Kamal Khan, under Article 130 (8) of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, hereby resign from the office of the Chief Minister of Balochistan today the 24th October.”
