MQM secures a majority in Karachi
2005-08-31
The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) has secured a majority in Karachi and Hyderabad in the local government elections, Dr Farooq Sattar, MQM parliamentary leader, said on Tuesday. “105 nazims and naib-nazims and more than 1,400 candidates backed by the MQM were able to win in the local government elections in Karachi,” he said while speaking to reporters in the National Assembly. He maintained that the MQM would not find it difficult to get their candidate elected as the city nazim of Karachi. He also said that the MQM would easily secure the slots of nazim and naib nazim across the 13 towns of Karachi.

Dr Sattar said that the MQM was also enjoying a majority in Hyderabad, winning in 36 out of 52 union councils. He added that MQM, with the support of 800 councillors in Hyderabad, would win the posts of district nazim and three town nazims and naib nazims. Sattar said that the MQM was also in a good position in Sukkar and Mirpurkhas. On the subject of the MQM candidate for city nazim in Karachi, Sattar said that the coordination committee of the party would nominate an appropriate candidate. He added that the party was already consulting on the issue. He rejected the opposition’s allegations of MQM rigging in Sindh, especially Karachi.
