KARACHI: Former Home Minister Suhail Anwar Siyal is likely to serve as anti-corruption and prisons minister in the next Sindh cabinet.

The former Home Minister of Sindh also disclosed that he had returned his protocol to the government after Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah resigned on Wednesday. He further stated that he had not been informed regarding any new ministry that would be offered to him but said that whatever the party decides, he would abide by it.

Talking about the Amjad Sabri killing case proceedings, Siyal said that a few arrests had been made in connection with the murder and a few evidence had also been collected.

The names and ministries of the new Sindh cabinet have yet to be announced. The election for the position of Chief Minister of Sindh will be held on Friday after which the new CM will be sworn in. Murad Ali Shah is expected to win the elections quite comfortably since he is the PPP's nominated Chief Minister. 

MQM have decided not to take part in the electoral process and will abstain from voting altogether while the PTI have fielded Khurram Sher Zaman as their candidate to contest the CM's position.
