Earlier, discussions were held between Opposition leader Malik Sikandar and Chief Minister Abdul Quddus Bizenjo regarding the appointment of the caretaker chief minister. However, a final decision on the appointment could not be reached at that time.
If there had been a lack of consensus on the caretaker chief minister’s name, the matter would have been referred to the Parliamentary Committee for further consideration.
Subsequently, Justice (r) Maqbool Baqar was nominated as the eighth caretaker chief minister of Sindh. Following extensive deliberations between Sindh CM and the opposition leader, an agreement was reached to nominate Justice Retired Maqbool Baqar.
