Formation

The Chief Minister position was established after Syed Murad Ali Shah was elected as the Provincial Chief Minister of Sindh for the third consecutive time with an overwhelming majority in the 2024 Sindh provincial election. PPP's ally, the MQM-P opted to stay in the opposition and not join the government. The majority was contested by PTI, JI, JUI-F and GDA who alleged the ruling PPP had rigged the elections in Karachi and other areas of Sindh to gain a false majority.
