KARACHI: Two Sindh ministers — Saeed Ghani and Syeda Shehla Raza — on Friday sent their resignations from the provincial cabinet to the Sindh chief minister so that they could lead Pakistan Peoples Party’s campaign for the Aug 28 local government election in Karachi division.

In separate tweets, Mr Ghani and Ms Raza announced their resignations from their respective offices.

“I have resigned from the provincial ministry and sent my resignation to the chief minister. The resignation has not been accepted yet. However, being president of the PPP Karachi chapter, it’s my utmost desire to lead the campaign for the party for the local bodies’ elections with my workers. The decision of the Sindh chief minister and party leadership, however, would be final,” said Labour Minister Ghani.

The same announcement was made by Ms Raza over social media.

Both Karachi-based leaders, party sources said, have so far been unable to lead the LG polls campaign.
