MQM-P to vote for PML-N candidate in PM elections
Members of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) will be voting for Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)’s Shahid Khaqan Abbasi when the National Assembly elects a new prime minister today.
The decision followed a meeting between PML-N and MQM-P leaders in the residence of MQM-P’s Farooq Sattar at the Parliament Lodges.
Addressing the media after the meeting, Abbasi thanked the MQM leaders.
Sattar said rampant corruption and plunder is rife in Sindh. Whosoever becomes the prime minister will have to look after Sindh, he added.
He claimed wherever there have been [security] operations, a financial development package has been announced for those areas.
“N-league had politically outsourced Karachi,” complained Sattar, hoping the party changes its attitude in the coming months.
Speaking after Sattar again, Abbasi said Sindh’s problems will be resolved soon.
PM-nominee Abbasi, Sindh Governor Muhammad Zubair and party leaders Khawaja Saad Rafique and Abdul Qadir Baloch represented the government whereas the MQM-P members in the meeting included Ali Raza Abidi, Karachi Mayor Wasim Akhtar, Kishwar Zehra — the party’s nominee for PM — and Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, among others.
The MQM, is the fourth largest party in the assembly, with 24 members.
The party will now withdraw the nomination of Zehra who is contesting the election for the premier.
