KARACHI: The new chief minister of Sindh province will be elected today.
Sindh Assembly Speaker Owais Qadir Shah announced the schedule as per which the polling for the CM would take place at 2 pm on Monday (today).
PPP’s Murad Ali Shah will face off against Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) candidate Ali Khurshidi. In the Sindh Assembly, the PTI and Jamaat-i-Islami would boycott the proceedings for the CM’s election.
The PPP nominated Murad Ali Shah for the position of chief minister. On the other hand, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) has fielded Ali Khurshidi for the position of chief minister.
Moreover, the Punjab Assembly would witness PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz taking oath as Chief Minister of Punjab.
The election will likely see the daughter of three-time former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, make history as the first woman chief minister of Punjab since PML-N and its allies have a clear majority in the House.
The election of the Chief Minister of Punjab will be held today at 11:00 am. Meanwhile, the swearing-in ceremony of the newly-elected Punjab chief minister will be held on Monday at 2 pm at the Governor’s House.
The invitations in this regard have been distributed to the provincial assembly members. The MPAs have been instructed not to bring guests along with them.
