Provincial Assembly of Sindh constitutes a unicameral legislative body comprising elected representatives from Sindh province in Pakistan. The assembly convenes in Karachi, which serves as the provincial capital. Its formation derives from Article 106 of the Constitution of Pakistan, allocating a total membership of 168 seats distributed across three categories: 130 general seats, 29 positions designated exclusively for women, and 9 seats reserved for non-Muslim communities.
A predecessor institution bearing the designation Sind Legislative Assembly operated during the British India period within Sind Province, continuing into the initial years following Pakistan's creation.
Historical Administrative Status of Sindh
A substantial portion of Sindh came under British military control when General Sir Charles Napier captured the region, subsequently losing its independent statehood and being administered as a Commissionership within the Bombay Presidency of India, governed by a Commissioner.
Following administrative reorganisation under the Morley-Minto Reforms in 1909, Sindh secured parliamentary representation in the Bombay Legislative Assembly for the first time through four nominated members. A political movement advocating Sindhi separation from the Bombay Presidency emerged thereafter, culminating in the Government of India Act 1935. Pursuant to Section 40(3) of said legislation, Sindh achieved autonomous provincial status effective 1 April 1936. The newly constituted Province of Sindh obtained its own Legislative Assembly comprising sixty members, elected on principles of communal representation incorporating weighted allocation for minority communities.
Sir Lancelot Graham assumed office as the inaugural Governor of Sindh on 1 April 1936, pursuant to British Government appointment. Until 1937, he concurrently presided over an Executive Council of twenty-five members responsible for provincial administration, which included two advisers drawn from the Bombay Council.
