KARACHI – Chief Minister Sindh Syed Qaim Ali Shah resigned on Wednesday as the Chief Minister of Sindh, after his party decided to replace him in the interests of the “development” of the party and province earlier this week.
According to media reports, Shah presented his resignation to Governor Sindh Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan. After accepting Qaim’s resignation, the Governor also dissolved the Sindh cabinet, which will be re-constituted after the new chief minister is sworn in.
