Syed Murad Ali Shah has begun his third consecutive term as Chief Minister of Sindh. He officially took the oath of office at a ceremony in the Governor House on Tuesday. Governor Kamran Tessori led the ceremony, which included Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and other prominent members of the PPP.
Shah won the chief minister election with an impressive 112 votes out of 148. While his opponent, MQM-P candidate Ali Khurshidi, received 36 votes, members of the Jamat-i-Islami (JI) and the Sunni Ittehad Council (including independent candidates backed by the PTI) chose not to participate in the vote.
