Liaqat Baloch

Liaqat Baloch (Urdu: لیاقت بلوچ) (born December 9, 1952) is a political leader in Pakistan. He is originally from Muzaffargarh, a remote area of southern Punjab.

He played an active role in student politics in the late 1970s at the University of the Punjab where he was twice elected president of the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba. He holds an MSc (Mass Communication} and LLB degree from the University of the Punjab. He was a member of the Pakistani parliament in 1985 and 1991.

Today, Mr Baloch lives in Lahore and is the vice president of Jamaat-e-Islami, Pakistan's Islamic religio-political party. He is also the secretary-general of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) and the deputy leader of the opposition in the National Assembly. Political experts in Pakistan believe that he will be the next president of the Jamaat-e-Islami.
