ISLAMABAD: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) would contest upcoming general election independently and without making electoral alliance with any party, the party’s Deputy Convenor Farooq Sattar has announced.
“MQM will go to the people with its own manifesto; however, seat adjustment can be made with any party,” said Sattar who is also a Minister for Overseas Pakistanis.
Talking to media persons, he said that “we will ask from the government what MQM gained as a government ally. Over the last five years, we played our role as a friend, not a foe.”
Sattar said the MQM’s Coordination Committee has prepared a balance sheet realizing that its five-year performance is unsatisfactory.
