Chairman Privatisation Commission (PC) Mohammad Zubair has been chosen for the post of Sindh governor.

According to Express News, Zubair, elder brother of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Asad Umar, was named for the position by the ruling PML-N for his soft spoken image and ability to deal with the emerging political situation in Karachi.

A notification in this regard is expected soon.
