QUETTA (November 11, 2026): National Party (NP) Central Social Media Secretary Saad Dehwar has welcomed the reported announcement of more than 5,000 federal vacancies allocated to Balochistan, attributing the development to sustained efforts by the party and its engagements with federal authorities.
In a statement, Dehwar said the issue of vacant federal posts and implementation of Balochistan’s employment quota had repeatedly been raised by the National Party in meetings with the federal government, including efforts led by former chief minister Dr. Abdul Malik Baloch.
He also referred to the role of Senator Jan Muhammad Buledi, saying the matter had been pursued through the Senate’s Devolution Committee, where information regarding vacant positions and implementation of the provincial quota was sought from the relevant ministries.
While welcoming the reported vacancies, the NP leader called for a recruitment process based strictly on merit and transparency, without political influence, favoritism or other forms of interference.
Dehwar also urged the federal authorities to reconsider lengthy experience requirements attached to certain positions. He argued that such conditions could place recent graduates and unemployed young people from Balochistan at a disadvantage because many have limited opportunities to acquire the experience demanded by employers.
He emphasized the need to provide all eligible candidates with an equal opportunity to compete for the announced positions and called for recruitment procedures to be completed without unnecessary delays.
The NP leader further demanded effective safeguards against irregularities and favoritism throughout the selection process.
Dehwar said his party would continue monitoring implementation of the recruitment process to ensure that Balochistan received its due share of federal employment opportunities in accordance with the province’s allocated quota.
