Audio leak: Sindh Governor blames PDM govt for MQM-P’s shrinking vote bank. In a recently leaked audio recording, Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori has shed light on the declining voter support for the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), attributing it to the party’s association with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led government and its alignment with the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).
Tessori points out that MQM-P’s decision to align with the PTI-led government has caused dissatisfaction among its voters, leading to a shrinking vote bank. He emphasizes that while MQM-P initially secured seven seats in the 2018 elections, their current tally of 17 National Assembly seats has sparked accusations from other parties questioning the authenticity of their mandate.
However, Tessori defends MQM-P’s stance, highlighting the risks of being part of a government that faces public backlash. He underlines the importance of acknowledging MQM-P’s true mandate as reflected in the 2018 elections.
Meanwhile, in a separate incident, Mustafa Kamal confirmed the authenticity of an audio leak attributed to him. He acknowledged the common occurrence of rival parties disputing MQM-P’s mandate but dismissed their claims.
