The Governor of Balochistan is the appointed Head of State of the provincial government in Balochistan Pakistan Balochistan , Pakistan . The governor is designated by the Prime Minister of Pakistan Prime Minister and is normally regarded a ceremonial post. However, throughout the history of Pakistan, the powers of the provincial governors were vastly increased, every time the provincial assemblies were dissolved and the administrative role came under direct control of the governors. The seat of governor in Balochistan was started on 1 July 1970 during General Yahya Khan s regime, unlike other provinces where there has been a governor since formation of Pakistan in 1947. During Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto s administration, twice the provincial governments were abrogated, first in 1973 and then in 1974 76, thus empowering the governor to take the helms of authority. General Muhammad Zia ul Haq s martial law from 1977 to 1985 saw the establishment of the post of Martial Law Administrator of Balochistan , which gave rise to General Rahimuddin Khan s sweeping tutelage over the province. Even during General Pervez Musharraf s government, there was governor rule from 1999 2002. The current Governor is Zulfikar Ali Magsi , who took over on 28 February 2008.
