PPP’s Nasir Hussain says next Karachi administrator to be from MQM-P
Sindh Local Government Minister Syed Nasir Hussain Shah said that the Karachi’s next administrator would be from MQM-P and the slot will be filled in a day or two.
The development came after the delegation Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) meet MQM-P at Bahadurabad office.
MQM-P has traded the senate seat with PPP as the MQM’s candidate of upper house will withdraw today.
“We had already discussed with MQM-P that whomever they name would become the next administrator,” Nair Hussain said after meeting with MQM-P.
The PPP has nominated Waqar Mehdi for the Senate seat that fell vacant after party leader Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar resigned earlier this month after differences with the party.
Talking to journalists MQM-P leader Wasim Akhtar said that PPP leadership wanted MQM-P to withdraw its candidate.
“After discussing the request with party converner Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui and Raabta Committee, we have decided to withdraw our candidate,” Akhtar said.
After the withdrawal of MQM-P, PPP’s Waqar Mehdi will become unopposed Senator as no other party has nominated their candidate for the vacant seat.
The MQM-P leader hoped that Waqar Mehdi would work for the betterment of Sindh and its capital, Karachi.
