List of members of the 16th Provincial Assembly of Sindh
The List of members of the 16th Provincial Assembly of Sindh is the list of all the members elected to the 16th Provincial Assembly of Sindh. The assembly was constituted following the 2024 provincial election held in Sindh, and its term is to last until 2029.[1] The election officially resulted in a landslide majority of 115 seats being won by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) resulting in the creation of the Second Murad Ali Shah ministry.
Following the February 2024 election in Sindh, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA), Jaamat-e-Islami (JI) and Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) bashed the election as rigged in favor of the PPP and the Muttahida Qaumi Movement – Pakistan (MQM-P).[2] As a result, Jamaat-e-Islami leader Hafiz Naeem ur Rehman forfeited his own seat saying it had been rigged for him to win against a PTI candidate.[2] Pir Pagara's Grand Democratic Alliance forfeited both of its two seats in protest, alleging that the PPP had rigged seats in rural Sindh.[2]
