Senior Pakistan People’s Party leader Syed Khursheed Shah on Tuesday said his party will not take PTI-backed independent candidates onboard to increase its strength in the National Assembly.
“We will only contact independent candidates, not PTI-backed ones,” Khrushed Shah said in an interview.
Shah underlined the need to respect the people’s mandate after the general elections 2024 and urged political parties against the inclusion of PTI-backed independent candidates. “PPP is not interested in increasing its mandate by stealing others.”
Replying to a question, the former federal minister said Nawaz Sharif had lost the election and it was not morally right for him to become prime minister for the fourth time.
The PPP leader invited all the parties for talks after the split mandate in the elections for the sake of the country’s betterment.
Meanwhile, talking to media ahead of the Central Executive Committee meeting of PPP, former chief minister Murad Ali Shah said that the People’s Party wasforming government in Sindh.
“The election was not easy for the PPP in Sindh, we have worked hard for five years,” he claimed. “We can give account, how we won each and every seat,” he said. He said the GDA has used Pir Pagara. “I will advise Pir Sahib Pagara to change his friends, these friends are not sincere with him,” Murad Ali Shah said.
