Mamnoon Hussain, a prominent politician belonging to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), served as the president of the country from 2013 to 2018.
He was first appointed as Sindh governor prior to 1999’s military coup d’état. As a president of the country, he maintained a low-key profile and his role was rarely seen in the nation’s politics.
He had replaced PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and was succeeded by Arif Alvi.
Hussain was diagnosed with cancer in February last year and was under treatment at a private hospital in the city for some days where he breathed his last.
Hussain has left behind a widow and three sons.
He was born on 23 December 1940 in Agra, India. He was originally a businessman and had begun his political career as a Muslim Leaguer in 1969.
