The PTI has blamed the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan and the PPP for “stealing its mandate” in Karachi and Hyderabad and announced that it would launch a movement to mobilise its supporters in order to get back their “stolen mandate”.

Speaking at a press conference here at the Karachi Press Club, PTI leader Haleem Adil Sheikh claimed that independent candidates belonging to his party had won 20 of Karachi’s 22 National Assembly seats and two Hyderabad seats.

The MQM-P had won 15 NA seats in Karachi and two in Hyderabad, while the PPP succeeded on seven NA seats in the metropolis.

Accompanied by PTI-Karachi president Khurram Sher Zaman and others, he said that the upcoming government at the Centre would hardly survive five months.
