Former Pakistan premier Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi has died in London following a prolonged illness at the age of 78, his family said on Saturday.

Jatoi joined the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) in 1969 and was elected to Parliament for the first time the following year. He was Chief Minister of Sindh province during 1973-75 and served as caretaker Prime Minister for a brief period from August 6, 1990 to November 6, 1990 after the dismissal of the Benazir Bhutto government on corruption charges by President Ghulam Ishaq Khan.
