The newly-formed Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) has unveiled its election manifesto, promising to introduce good governance and financial discipline, restoring peace and order, giving priority to health and education sectors and solving the problem of drinking water shortage in Balochistan.

BAP president Jam Mir Kamal Khan Alyani said Balochistan was rich with natural resources and after coming into power the BAP would use these resources for the benefits of the province’s people and development of its backward areas.

He further said that objectives could not be achieved without a good governance structure. Therefore, he added, the BAP would bring improvement in the governance structure of the province.
