The oath-taking ceremony was held at the Governor House, where Sheikh Jaffar Khan Mandokhail administered the oath.
The event was attended by senior officials, including Sarfraz Bugti, along with provincial ministers and high-ranking government representatives.
Key Portfolio Assigned
Following the oath, Chief Minister Sarfraz Bugti assigned Langove the home and tribal affairs department, one of the most critical portfolios in the province.
An official notification confirming the assignment was also issued.
Background of Appointment
Mir Ziaullah Langove was elected from the PB-36 Kalat constituency and had previously been de-notified on August 21, 2024.
