PTI names Haleem Adil Sheikh opposition leader in Sindh Assembly

KARACHI: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has nominated MPA-elect Haleem Adil Sheikh as its candidate for the position of leader of the opposition in the Sindh Assembly. 

Shortly after his nomination, the PTI leader also won support from party allies, including Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) and Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA).

Mr Sheikh met leaders of both the parties at their offices who announced to support him unconditionally.

PTI chief Imran Khan on Saturday approved party leader Imran Ismail’s nomination as the next Governor of Sindh.

Ismail met the party chief at his Islamabad residence who approved his name for the slot.

It is pertinent to note here that Sindh’s former governor Muhammad Zubair  stepped down from his position and sent his resignation to the president on July 28, three days after PTI emerged as the biggest party after general elections.
