The governor of Sindh is the appointed head of the province of Sindh, Pakistan. The office of the governor as the head of the province is largely a ceremonial position; the executive powers lie with the chief minister and the chief secretary of Sindh.
However, there were instances throughout the history of Pakistan, the powers of the provincial governors were vastly increased, when the provincial assemblies were dissolved and the administrative role came under direct control of the governors, as in the cases of martial laws of 1958–1972 and 1977–1985, and governor rules of 1999–2002. In the case of Sindh, there were three direct instances of governor's rule under Mian Aminuddin, Rahimuddin Khan and Moinuddin Haider respectively, in 1951–1953, 1988, and 1998 when the provincial chief ministers of those times were removed and assemblies dissolved.
The governor is appointed by the president on the advice of the prime minister. The Governor House in Karachi is the official residence of the governor of Sindh. Kamran Tessori is the current governor of Sindh.

The Muslim province of Sind was under the reign of Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates. The governor of Sind was an official of Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates.




Mughal Empire


Following its annexation of Sindh's independent sultanates, the Mughal Empire administered southern Sindh as the Thatta Subah or Sarkar from 28 Mar. 1593 until the early 18th century. Northern Sindh was ruled separately by the Kalhora dynasty until around 1739, when Persian assistance allowed them to annex Thatta Subah as well. Following the 1783 Battle of Halani, Kalhora control was replaced by the Talpur dynasty.
