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 President on the advice of 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 three direct instances of governor's rule under Mian Aminuddin, Rahimuddin Khan and Moinuddin Haider respectively, in 1951-1953, 1988, and 1998 when the provincial chief ministers of those times were removed and assemblies dissolved.

The current Governor is Muhammad Zubair, appointed on 30 January 2017

The Governor House, Karachi is the official residence of the Governor of Sindh.
