Awami National Party has said it may enter into political alliance even with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf yet expressed concerns over the “unprecedented uncertainty” prevailing in the country ahead of the elections scheduled to be held on Feb 8, 2024.
“The ANP can enter into an alliance with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf if democracy is the focus of the agenda yet the PTI should tell on what agenda it wants to make an alliance with us”. The ANP’s Central Senior Vice President and former Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ameer Haider Khan Hoti said in Peshawar. He, however, said his Party cannot support what he said May 9, 2023 agenda.
Ameer Haider Hoti declared the Awami National Party would decide about forging an alliance with the other political parties in the general elections by January 13.
Commenting upon the PTI’s consistent demand for a level-playing field in the upcoming elections, ANP top leader said even his Party was not provided a level playing field in the general elections of 2013 and 2018 adding the favours were extended to the PTI and other parties in those elections.
Haider Hoti predicted that no single party would be in a position to make its own government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as well as in the center. “Coalition governments would be formed both in the KP and the center,” ANP leader asserted.
