Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQMP) Friday announced the list of candidates for the National Assembly from Karachi as it is eyeing to regain its hold on the city’s politics after the divisions it faced after 2013 elections, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel.
The MQM-P shared the names of those contesting elections for National Assembly on February 8.
Their details are given below:
NA-232 Aasia Ishaque, NA-233 Javed Hanif, NA-234 Moeen Aamir Pirzada, NA-235 Iqbal Mehsud, NA-236 Hassan Sabir, NA-237 Rauf Siddiqui, NA-238 Sadiq Iftikhar, NA-240 Arshad Vohra, NA-241 Dr Farooq Sattar, NA-242 Mustafa Kamal, NA-243 Humayun Usman, NA-244 Dr Farooq Sattar, NA-245 Syed Hafeezuddin, NA-246 Syed Aminul Haque, NA-247 Mustafa Kamal, NA-248 Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, NA-249 Ahmed Saleem Siddiqui and NA-250 Farhan Chishti.
Earlier, the PML-N and MQM-P failed to agree on seat adjustment in National Assembly constituency NA-242 (District Keamari). Now, Mustafa Kamal has been named to contest the election.
On the other hand, the MQM-P has decided not field candidates in 15 constituencies – five national and 10 provincial – of Karachi to accommodate the allied parties, mainly the PML-N.
