According to sources, Muhammad Zubair Umar of PMLN has been designated as the next governor of Sindh. He is currently working as Chairman Privatization Commission.

Muhammad Zubair is likely to take oath as the 32nd governor of Sindh in the next few days, according to a source privy to the situation.

The office of governor Sindh fell vacant after the former governor Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqui died of illness on 11th January this month. He only served for 2 months which made him the shortest-serving governor in Sindh’s history. 

Muhammad Zubair is considered a close confidant of prime minister Nawaz Sharif. He is the elder brother of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf central executive committee member, Asad Umar.
