PPP or PTI coalition: MQM Pakistan takes the final decision

KARACHI - Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan has finally taken a decision whether to side with PPP in Sindh or to go with PTI in the federal government.

MQM Pakistan has decided to join the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in forming the federal government, it emerged on Wednesday.

MQM-P convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui has confirmed his party’s leaning after the results of the General Election 2018.

“The Pakistan Peoples’ Party does not need anyone in Sindh. The MQM-P will sit alongside the PTI on government benches,” he said.

Earlier in the day, the PPP had told the MQM-P that it must make a choice between joining the federal government and Sindh government.

The MQM-P clinched 16 seats in the Sindh Assembly in the July 25 general election, and has six seats in the National Assembly.
