Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidates from Karachi are against the alliance with the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) and not happy with this arrangement.
The Candidates are of the view that the alliance with the MQM-P will benefit the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).
They maintained that the MQM does not have vote bank in the suburbs of Karachi such as in Malir and West.
The candidates expressed these views during a meeting held at Muslim League House, here on Wednesday.
They blamed the provincial leadership of not informing the central leadership about the truth.
Some candidates threatened that they would contest the elections as independent candidates if they were not awarded party tickets.
They added that the MQM had always harmed the Muslim League-N.
On January 9 (Tuesday), sources said that the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) reached an agreement on seat adjustment for the NA-242 constituency.
But today (Jan 10), the MQM-P leader Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui rejected the news of agreement on seat adjustment for the NA-242 constituency.
He said that Mustafa Kamal would be candidate of the party in the NA-242 constituency.
However, it was reported that the deadlock between the two parties on NA-242 was resolved through multiple rounds of dialogue, with MQM-Pakistan ultimately agreeing to PML-N’s demand. As a result, MQM-P decided to withdraw its candidate, Mustafa Kamal, in favor of former Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
