ISLAMABAD: President Arif Alvi on Sunday approved the summary of Mohammad Kamran Tessori’s appointment as governor of Sindh.
The Sindh governor post had been vacant since PTI’s Imran Ismail stepped down from the position in April 2022 following the ouster of Imran Khan as prime minister.
According to details, the president of Pakistan gave his consent in accordance with Article 101 of the Constitution of Pakistan.
In the past month, Tessori was re-inducted into MQM-P which led to a controversy within the party ranks as many party members had stated their opposition to the move.
Tessori was re-inducted into the MQM-P as the deputy convener during a meeting on September 9 that was presided over by the party’s convener, Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui.
However, it received severe backlash from a number of senior party leaders, who were absent from the meeting. They openly expressed their concerns over the party’s decision.
Tessori was the main cause of the disagreement between former MQM-P leader Farooq Sattar and other party officials, which ultimately resulted in the latter’s expulsion from the party.
Due to Sattar’s insistence on giving Tessori the party ticket in a by-election, the MQM-P coordination committee dismissed him from the convener position.
Later, Sattar established a new faction of the party with the name of the MQM Restoration Committee.
