CHAGAI: For the first time in Chagai district, the ever long ruling Notezai family is fighting a tough political battle for their survival in power for upcoming polls scheduled to be held on 25th of July. Muhammad hasni’s, who had been political allied of Notezai’s in past, are again contesting against them for the second time during last 10 years.

In 2013 Sakhi Amanullah of the Notezai family had won his seat with the lead of almost  900 votes against Muhammad Arif of Muhammad hasni family, but this time he has lost his several strong political supporters, including powerful Khan Sanjarani Panel which led by sitting Chairman Senate Muhammad Sadiq Khan Sanjarani’s father Khan Muhammad Asif Khan Sanjarani, therefore Sakhi Amanullah Notezai has lesser chances to win his seat this time and if it happens then almost 40 years ruling era of Notezai family would be ended in Chagai.

This time Ex-Minister Haj Ali Muhammad Notezai, who had supported Sakhi Amanullah Notezai in 2013, is backing PTI’s candidate Malik Amanullah Notezai, who is consider to be the third leading candidate for upcoming polls in Chagai district, while Syed Balanoshi, Lagove, Mengal, Sumalani, Kashani and even few sub tribes of Notezai’s have also withdrawn their support to Sakhi Amanullah Notezai and joined Alfateh Panel of Muhammad Hasni’s but Arz Muhammad Barech, an strong political opponent of Khan Sanjarani Panel in Nokkundi, and Haji Babu Anwar Notezai of BNP have announced their support to Sakhi Amanullah Notezai this time but Sakhi Amanullah Notezai is upset with PTI candidate Malik Amanullah Notezai who can get more votes from his supporters. He tried several times to get PTI candidate withdrawn in his favor but failed every time.

Outspoken  Mir Muhammad Arif Muhammad Hasni has been getting support in large scale for the first time, which is believed to be the outcome of bad performance demonstrated by Sakhi Amanullah Notezai , who had been in provincial assembly for 15 years and most of time he had enjoyed different ministries in every cabinet  but people in all over the district are deprived of basic human need facilities yet. Muahmmad Arif Muhammad hasni raised these issues for last 5 years and became popular with the passage of time.

Political analysts says election is a science and the notezai’s , due to their vast experience, know it better but have lost the public support in large scale and on the other hand Mir Muhammad Arif Muhammad Hasni has obtained public support, even several Notezai’s have also put their weight in his pocket during recent days and some more are expected to announce their joining.  Analysts says there is large number of silent voters who support Mir Muhammad Arif Muhammad Hasni and some of these votes would be casted in favour of Sakhi Amanullah Notezai and Malik Amanullah Notezai.

Sakhi Amanullah Notezai is contesting with newly formed BAP ticket while Mir Muhammad Arif Muhammad Hasni is and independent candidate. In 2013 Sakhi Amanullah Notezai had contested on PML-Q’s ticket and Mir Muhammad Arif Muhammad Hasni was contesting with PPP’s ticket. This time the party loyalties and constituency of both political rivals have been changed and now it depends on voters if they will bring a change or choose the same path.
