KARACHI: The Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) Pakistan has announced that it would support the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf candidate for Opposition Leader in the Senate.

A PTI delegation led by Imran Ismail visited Bahadurabad to hold talks with MQM leaders.

Speaking to media after the meeting, Faisal Sabzwari said MQM would not support Sherry Rehman as it doesn't want to vote for a Pakistan People's Party candidate for the leader of the opposition in the upper house of the parliament.

He said all the MQM Senators would vote for the PTI candidate.

The MQM leader levelled allegations of corruption against the PPP and said the party has destroyed entire Sindh during the last 10 years.
