 Jamali: ever the yes-man of Pakistan's rulers
Jamali suffered from two disqualifications. A case was pending against him in a local court and he had previously held charge as chief minister of Balochistan for two tenures.
Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali, not known to be a man of principle and widely reputed to be an opportunist, kept switching sides between the Pakistan Muslim League and Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party, depending on who made the highest bid for his services.
The Jamali tribe led by Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali colluded with Bhutto and the military to crush the nationalists.

 Asia Times
This is the challenge that lies ahead for Jamali, who belongs to the Pakistan Muslim League-Qaid-i-Azam (PML-Q) close to President General Pervez Musharraf and whose election as prime minister on Thursday ended a six-week deadlock over the formation of a government after the October 10 elections.
Jamali's political juggling act will not be made easier by the fact that Musharraf, who a few days ago took his oath as president for another five years, remains the real source of power in a country that on the surface returned to democratic institutions with the convening of parliament.
Jamali's toughest test will be how he handles the limits set by constitutional amendments that Musharraf introduced earlier this year to curtail the powers of the prime minister and of the parliament, even though the return of these institutions was meant to reflect Pakistan's return to civilian rule after the 1999 coup.

Zafarullah Khan Jamali has not changed in the nearly half century that I have known him, he is not a dual (or triple) personality as almost all our (and one dare says all over the world) politicians are.
Jamali is in a "revolving door" situation because he is not the dummy he was probably meant to be by those who supported the president's choice of PM in late 2002.
Zafarullah has reason to hold his head high, he has done well enough in the circumstances allowed to him, with the dignity and self-respect befitting his heritage.

 The sins of Jamali
Jamali was elevated to this office by Musharraf after the highly controversial general election of October 2002.
An aggravating factor was Jamali's failure (in Musharraf's eyes) to vigorously explain to the people and to support in public the operations launched by the army in the South Waziristan area of the Federally-Administered Tribal Areas -- FATA -- in its hunt, under US pressure, for the dregs of Al Qaeda and the Taliban.
Jamali was put in a highly embarrassing position when questions were raised as to why this task of seeming civilian supervision over the nuclear and missile establishment was given to Aziz and not to him (Jamali) and why Aziz reported his findings directly to Musharraf and not through Jamali.

Jamali did not resist even for a second, much to the relief of the president who had been told by his aides that Jamali was up to something mischievous.

While the resignation of Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali, the first prime minister from Balochistan, is being treated as a routine matter, it is not.
Mr Jamali was unabashedly obsequious to his military bosses and was always over-eager to do everything at their bidding.
Instead, Mr Jamali was forced, ostensibly as a gesture of goodwill and solidarity, but more likely in deference to realpolitik, to nominate as his successor the person who had been conspiring behind his back to oust him.
