It is pertinent to mention here that the first session of the provincial assembly was held on August 13, 2018, and its five-year constitution term will end on August 12, 2023 (tomorrow).
“The Sindh CM has signed the summary for dissolution of the provincial assembly and left for the Governor House [for his assent],” according to the sources.
“The Sindh Governor on the advice of the chief minister may sign the summary till midnight today,” the sources privy to the matter said.
Consultations between the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and opposition parties over the appointment of a caretaker chief minister are currently underway.
The well-informed sources said that the ruling party of Sindh is mulling to propose the name of Justice (retd) Maqbool Baqar for the slot of interim CM.
