“Positions come and go, and no one holds them for life, but one should leave behind a legacy that people remember,” said incumbent Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori in a recent statement.
Earlier, MQM-Pakistan dismissed these reports as mere rumors, stating that if the government had made such a decision, it would have consulted the party.
Kamran Tessori was oath in as the 34th governor of Sindh on October 10, 2022. His appointment had “surprised” the MQM-P Rabita Committee, as his name was not among the three candidates suggested by the party for the coveted position.
According to the pre-election deal between the PPP and PML-N, the Sindh-ruling party nominated its candidates for the president and Senate Chairman, while the N-league secured the prime minister and National Assembly speaker positions.
It was also decided that the PPP would appoint its governor in Punjab, while the PML-N would do the same in Sindh. In May, PPP leader Sardar Saleem Haider was Oath in as the Punjab governor.
