KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) has once again denied reports that it has reached an agreement with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on a seat adjustment in a Karachi constituency.
The party’s Convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui said on Wednesday that there was no truth in reports that the MQM-P had agreed to a seat adjustment in NA-242. “All such news are baseless,” he said categorically.
Siddiqui further said that Mustafa Kamal was the MQM-P’s candidate from the constituency.
Earlier, there were reports that both parties had agreed on a seat adjustment in many national and provincial assembly constituencies, including three constituencies in Karachi.
On December 29, 2023, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif had announced filing his nomination papers for the upcoming general elections from Karachi’s NA-242, where Kamal had also filed his documents.
