ISLAMABAD – Well-informed sources within Peoples Party Wednesday told The Nation that the party had decided to give the portfolio of Information and Broadcasting to Sherry Rehman who was currently working as Central Media Secretary of PPPP.
Sherry Rehman has been re-elected as an MNA from Sindh on the list for reserved seats for women. Sherry is currently working as Central Information Secretary as well as President of Policy Planning for the Pakistan Peoples Party. Shehrbano “Sherry” Rehman studied art, history and politics at Smith College and the University of Sussex.
Sherry Rehman has been a senior journalist for twenty years. She served as the editor of Pakistan’s prestigious newsmagazine, Herald, for ten years.
As President of Policy Planning for the PPP, Rehman is responsible for co-coordinating and drafting the talking points for the party, for formulating formal party strategy papers on diverse subjects and for shorter current position papers for the leadership.
