Nawab Zulfikar Ali Magsi (Urdu: نواب ذوالفقار علی مگسی ), (born February 14, 1954 in Jhal Magsi, Balochistan) is the current Nawab of Magsi Tribe. He is also the current Governor of Balochistan, who has previously served as the Chief Minister of Balochistan province in the Benazir Bhutto government of 1993–1996.[1]

Nawab Magsi did his schooling from Aitchison College, Lahore. He first came to politics in 1977, when he won as an independent candidate seat from his native constituency in provincial assembly. However, his family was involved in Balochistan politics before Pakistani independence. He served in many provincial ministries and also worked in the Home Ministry in the 1990s. In 1993, his coalition won majority of seats and he became Chief Minister of Balochistan.

In February 2008 elections, he again stood as an independent candidate from his native PB-32 Jhal Magsi constituency and won without any opposition. On February 27, 2008, the caretaker Chief Minister Sardar Mohammad Saleh Bhootani announced officially that Nawab Magsi would be the next Governor of Balochistan province. On February 28, 2008 Nawab Magsi took oath in the Governor House at Quetta. In the ceremony, he promised to resolve the on-going military operation in Balochistan, missing political workers and bring peace in province.[2]

On Wednesday, March 19, 2008, Nawab Magsi asked Balochistan Government issue an outstanding bill against federal government and the Sindh Government of 128bn rupees.[3] Zulfikar Ali Magsi is married to Shama Parveen Magsi, who was previously married to his paternal uncle.
