As the political landscape clears after considerable uncertainty following the February 8 polls, the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) have established an agreement to collaborate for “national interest,” The News reported on Saturday.
The news comes as a MQM-P delegation, including Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori, Mustafa Kamal, and Farooq Sattar, met with PML-N leadership in Lahore as part of ongoing negotiations between the two parties regarding the former’s position in the coalition administration.
Following the recently ended general elections, no party was able to obtain a simple majority in the 336-member National Assembly (NA), leaving the PML-N with little choice but to reach out to the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and MQM-P with their 54 and 17 seats, respectively, to reach the required number to form its government.
