NA-245 polls: Farooq Sattar, MQM-P patch-up on the cards, sources

Karachi: MQM-P leadership has offered Farooq Sattar to rejoin the party and contest the NA-245 by-elections under the symbol of Kite, sources say. 

According to details, the Muttahida Qoumi Movement Pakistan (MQM-P) leadership and Farooq Sattar have decided to mend ties. The estranged veteran has been offered to return to the party and contest the NA-245 by-polls under the Kite symbol, sources say.

Farooq Sattar had suggested multiple times in the last few weeks that the only viable option for the Urdu-speaking community is to unite. MQM-P leadership has said that Farooq Sattar would be a very good candidate for the NA-245 by-polls.

Karachi’s NA-245 had been vacated after the demise of PTI MNA Aamir Liaquat Hussain on June 9, 2022.

Talking on the ARY morning show Ba-Khabar Sawera, the Muttahida Qoumi Movement Bahali committee (MQM-BC) chief said that the results in NA-240 and the first phase of the local body elections in Sindh are distressing.
