MQMP faces split over awarding Senate tickets

MQMP convener Dr Farooq Sattar suggested the name of deputy convener Kamran Tessori for the ticket.

Islamabad: Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQMP) showed signs of intensifying split as party chief Farooq Sattar and senior leader Amir Khan held separate meetings with their respective groups. Sources said the split had been caused due to Senate elections due on March 3, 2018. MQMP leaders have developed differences on the matter of awarding Senate tickets as four Senators from the party were set to retire this year. Farooq Sattar remains the convener of one committee while the other was organised by Aamir Khan at Bahadurabad office which was chaired by Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui.

MQMP in an earlier meeting at the party’s Bahadur Abad office decided to award tickets for the upcoming Senate elections to Farogh Naseem, Nasreen Jalil, Aminul Haque and Shabbir Qaimkhani.

However, MQMP convener Dr Farooq Sattar suggested the name of deputy convener Kamran Tessori for the ticket.
