Negotiations are underway between the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) regarding the allocation of seats in NA-242.
Sources divulged on Tuesday that for the provincial seats in NA-242, the MQM-P is anticipated to nominate its candidate, whereas the PML-N is showing a preference for presenting its own candidate.
Ongoing discussions are in progress between MQM and PML-N, encompassing both the national and provincial seats within NA-242, as per reliable sources.
Last year in November, PML-N senior leader Ahsan Iqbal said that his party had expressed unwavering support for the Muttahida Quami Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P).
Speaking to media in Karachi, flanked by MQM-P leader Dr Farooq Sattar, the former planning minister said: “A robust local government system is a priority for the PML-N in the country. When it comes to the country’s future and addressing public concerns, there’s no platform more effective than local government”.
“The acceptance of constitutional amendments will go through the parliamentary process, according to Ahsan Iqbal. The constitutional amendments will grant constitutional protection to local governments, ensuring their continuity, regardless of provincial authorities,” Iqbal said.
