KARACHI: The JUI-F announced the withdrawal of its candidate for the upcoming by-elections in the NA-245 constituency of the port city in favour of Moeed Anwar of the MQM-P, in accordance with a cooperative plan of the ruling coalition parties.
The PPP withdrew its candidacy after the coalition partners at the centre decided to run a joint candidate in the upcoming by-election. This prompted the party to make its decision.
The declaration was made following a meeting with JUI-F leader Haji Aminullah at the home of a delegation from the MQM-P, including Khawaja Izharul Hassan and party candidate Moeed Anwar for NA-245.
