Two Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) members of Sindh Assembly took oath at the Governor house on Tuesday evening, as the opposition party starts its migration to the treasury benches, Express News reported.

MPAs Rauf Siddiqui and Dr Sagheer Ahmed were administered the oath of Sindh ministers by Governor Dr Ishratul Ebad Khan at a ceremony at the Governor House on Tuesday evening.

Sindh chief minister Qaim Ali Shah was also in attendance along with a number of MQM members and MPs.


It had been reported earlier that the MQM would be joining the Sindh government to become Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) coalition partner for a second time.

Sources suggested that the MQM is expected to be handed the sports, youth affairs, health and environment ministries. It is further expected that MQM will also get a share of key bureaucratic postings along with three advisers to the chief minister.
