Government Organization Zhob

Conclusion and major Development Issues

Zhob is a provincially run administered tribal area with a Political Agent as the administrative head of the district. The role of Political Agent in the administrative affairs of the agency is very important. It is more independent and autonomous under a non-elected government than under an elected one. The role of the local government bodies was also important in dispensing day to day local affairs. The role of the local bodies has become severely handicapped after provincial government stopped dispersing funds.

The society in Zhob district is largely tribal and tribal conflicts frequently occur. The strongest political party in the area is JUI. Mullana Mohammad Khan Sherani is a pillar of the party in Zhob district. PKMAP is the second largest party. The role of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz is limited. The winning of Jaffar Khan Mandokhel was due to his personal influence rather than the political party he was affiliated with.
