MQM-P Convenor Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui on Wednesday rejected the reports about reaching a deal with the PML-N for seat adjustment on NA-242, saying Mustafa Kamal is their party candidate from the constituency.
It means NA-242, from where PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif is contesting the polls, remains a sticking point for the two parties as they decided to form a joint front along with other parties in Sindh for staging an upset in Sindh – the PPP stronghold.
They decided to join hands in the February 8 elections and for a long-term cooperation after that because of mutual political interests. So the PML-N wants a foothold in the province, especially Karachi, with an aim to expand its base while also projecting itself as a party enjoying support across the country, as three-time prime minister Nawaz is eyeing another term in office.
