Muhammad Zubair steps down as Sindh governor

KARACHI: Sindh Governor Muhammad Zubair Umar on Saturday stepped down from his position, ARY News reported.

He has sent his resignation to President Mamnoon Hussain.

“I have performed my duty under the constitution,” he said.

Muhammad Zubair has started moving his personal belongings out of the Governor House. He was sworn in as the 32nd Governor of Sindh in February, last year.

This development comes a day after the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which is poised to form a government at the centre after wining the 2018 elections, decided to change the governors in three provinces, including Sindh, Punjab and Khyber Paklhtunkhwa.

Malik Rafique Raujwana is Punjab governor while Iqbal Zafar Jhagra is the governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
