It’s chieftain, Muhammad Ismail Soho, died of the coronavirus in February. His clan subsequently chose his daughter Heer Ismail Soho, a lawmaker at the provincial assembly of Sindh, as its new female tribal chief.

Heer will formally assume the title at a condolence reference for her father scheduled to be held after the Eid holiday in May, where she would wear the traditional turban, worn by tribal leaders.
