Early life and education
editBorn in Quetta on 1 May 1971, Kakar holds degrees in Master of Arts and Bachelor of Laws. He is an advocate by profession.[1]
Political career
editHe was elected to the Provincial Assembly of Balochistan as a candidate of Pashtunkhwa Milli Awami Party from Constituency PB-6 Quetta-VI in 2013 Pakistani general election.[2] He received 18,062 votes and defeated a candidate of Jamiat Ulema-e Islam (F).[3]
In March 2018, the Election Commission of Pakistan disqualified him as Member of the Provincial Assembly of Balochistan for crossing the floor.[4]
As reported by senior Pakistani journalist Matiullah Jan, on June 5, 2024, to show support to senator Faisal Vawda, Kakar attended a contempt of court proceeding along with several other parliamentarians. Presumably, it was at the direction of the Pakistan Army that runs the hybrid regime in that country. Kakar was elected to the National assembly under that controversial system in a rigged 2024 election.
