KARACHI: Awami National Party (ANP) on Friday announced to support Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) in the by-election on NA-245.
The national assembly seat was vacated after the death of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNA Aamir Liaquat Hussain. Syed Nadeem Haider was appointed as the returning officer for the by-election.
ANP Sindh President Shahi Syed, while addressing a press conference along with MQM-P leader and former Mayor Karachi Wasim Akhtar, said his party would support the MQM-P candidate on NA-245.
“Both the parties are committed to restore the prosperity of Karachi,” Shahi Syed said, throwing weight behind MQM-P in Karachi NA-245 by-elections and LG polls.
“We have to get rid of looters for the development of Karachi,” Shahi Syed said.
ANP Sindh President has also said his party would support MQM in the upcoming local government elections in the province.
Taking over the presser, former Mayor Karachi Wasim Akhtar called Pashtuns ‘brothers’, saying that they will support MQM-P in the upcoming NA-245 by-election.
“We have to work together to get rid of the growing problems,” he added.
