The first ever local government system introduced in Killa Saifullah was the Village Aid programme which was initiated in the entire Zhob district on 15^th July 1957. Although 15 male workers were appointed for this programme, it never started functioning like in other districts. This system was replaced by the Basic Democracies Order of 1959. Under the Basic Democracies system, 13 Union Councils were established in the entire Zhob district. In 1969, all these local government institutions were suspended and later totally abolished on 22^nd January 1972. A new local government system was introduced in 1975 under the Balochistan Local Government Act 1975. This law could not be enforced in its true sense as the elections proposed under this act were never held. In 1979, another local government system was introduced in the country and implemented

in Balochistan under the Balochistan Local Government Ordinance 1980. This system is still enacted in the province. Under the provisions of this law, one District Council and 12 Union Councils are functional in Killa Saifullah district.
