Mumtaz Bhutto, the former chief minister of Sindh, died on Sunday at the age of 94.
Mumtaz Bhutto, former prime minister and PPP founder Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s cousin and close aide, died in his Karachi home.
Bhutto’s spokesman, Ibrahim Abro, said the politician, who had previously served as the governor of Sindh before becoming the province’s chief minister, had been sick for some time.
According to the spokesman, his corpse will be transported to Larkana at 6 p.m. for funeral prayers.
After falling out with the PPP, Bhutto founded his own party, the Sindh National Front (SNF). He announced the SNF’s merger with the PTI in 2017.
Before the 2013 elections, Bhutto had allied the SNF with the PML-N. However, after Bhutto’s disagreements with the PML-N, the two parties split ways.
