Current Affairs

As of 2026, the current Chairman of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in Pakistan is Lt. Gen. (R) Nazir Ahmed Butt. He was appointed in March 2023 and continues to hold the position. The other options listed are former chairmen or unrelated individuals. This is confirmed by the latest information from the official NAB website and reliable sources including Wikipedia updated in 2026.

As of May 2024, Sheikh Jaffar Khan Mandokhail is the current Governor of Balochistan. He took oath on May 6, 2024, succeeding Malik Abdul Wali Khan Kakar. Therefore, the correct answer for the current governor in 2026 (assuming no change) is Jaffar Khan Mandokhail, not Malik Abdul Wali Khan Kakar. The other options are former governors or unrelated political figures.

As of 2024, Ali Pervaiz Malik is serving as the Federal Minister for Petroleum in Pakistan. The other options, including Musadik Masood Malik, Sardar Awais Ahmad Khan Leghari, and Qaiser Ahmed Sheikh, do not hold this position currently. Since the question references 2026, the most recent verified information from 2024 indicates Ali Pervaiz Malik as the minister, and no credible sources confirm a change by 2026.

As of 2026, Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar is serving as the Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs of Pakistan. This is confirmed by official Ministry of Foreign Affairs sources and recent press releases. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari previously held the position but is not the current minister in 2026. The other options, Mohsin Naqvi and Khawaja Muhammad Asif, do not hold this office currently.

As of 2024 and continuing into 2026, Attaullah Tarar is serving as the Federal Minister of Information and Broadcasting in Pakistan.

As of 2024, Dr. Raja Ali Raza Anwar is the current Chairman of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC).

As of early 2026, Sohail Afridi is the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Ali Amin Gandapur resigned from the position in late 2025, and Sohail Afridi was nominated and took office thereafter. Mahmood Khan was a previous Chief Minister but is not the current one in 2026. Therefore, the correct answer is Sohail Afridi.

As of early 2026, the Governor of Sindh is Nehal Hashmi, who was appointed and sworn in March 2026, replacing Kamran Khan Tessori. Kamran Khan Tessori served as Governor from October 2022 until early 2026. Therefore, the correct answer for the Governor of Sindh in 2026 is Nehal Hashmi, who is not listed among the original options. Since the original options do not include Nehal Hashmi, the question and options need correction to reflect the current facts.
