Kalat State National Party

The Kalat State National Party (KSNP) was a Baloch nationalist political party in Balochistan in the princely state of Kalat from 1937 to 1948.

The party was formed on 5 February 1937 in Sibi, emerging out of the reorganization of the Anjuman-e-Ittehad-e-Balochan.^[1] Among its leadership were Ghaus Bakhsh Bizenjo, Mir Gul Khan Nasir and Abdul Aziz Kurd. Malik Saeed Dehwar was the party's secretary. The party sought the end of the British occupation of Balochistan and the establishment of an independent sovereign state.

The party won 39 of 51 seats in the Kalat parliamentary elections of 1947 after the Khan of Kalat, Mir Ahmad Yar Khan, declared the state's independence.^[2] The Kalat government responded by banning the party on 29 June 1947.^[3] The party dissolved itself in 1948.
