Governor of Sindh

Governor of Sindh

The Governor of Sindh is the appointed Head of State of the provincial government in Sindh, Pakistan. The governor is designated by the Prime Minister and is normally regarded a ceremonial post. However, throughout the history of Pakistan, the powers of the provincial governors were vastly increased, when the provincial assemblies were dissolved and the administrative role came under direct control of the governors, as in the cases of martial laws of 1958-1972 and 1977-1985, and governor rules of 1999-2002. In the case of Sindh, there were two direct governor rules, in 1951-1953 and 1988, when the provincial chief ministers of those times were removed and assemblies dissolved.

The current Governor is Ishrat-ul-Ibad Khan, who is affiliated with Muttahida Quami Movement.
