The Anwar Shaikh group registered a sweeping win in the Nawabshah Press Club (NPC) elections held after the exit of journalists serving in Sindh Government as teachers. 

Their exit could become possible following a prolonged legal battle waged by a group of journalists whose command in the NPC was overthrown by the opposing group with the help of government teachers also serving as journalists. 

In the NPC elections, the Anwar Shaikh Panel won all the seats of office-bearers and Executive Committee with majority of votes. 

The election was conducted by a committee headed by Assistant Commissioner, Abdul Qadeer Gujjar, with Zulfikar Aziz Memon, Farooq Viyani, Arshad Munir and Akram Shahzad as members. 

According to the results, Musharraf Ali Bhatti was elected as President, Ismail Domki as Senior Vice-President, Abdul Khaliq Malik as Vice-President, Rizwan Thebo as General Secretary, Abdul Latif Khaskheli as Joint Secretary-1, Habibullah, Joint Secretary-II, and Rashid Zia Qureshi as Treasurer. The members elected on Executive Committee included Anwar Shaikh, Syed Atif Hussain Zaidi, Fida Hussain Chandio, Bakhsh Ali Jamali, Khalid Farooqi, Aslam Azmi, Azhar Munir and Arshad Shaikh.
