Gohar rules out alliance with three ruling parties

Says PML-N, PPP and MQM-P had ‘stolen’ their party’s mandate during the Feb 8 polls

ISLAMABAD:

PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Khan on Wednesday ruled out coalition with three parties –PML-N, PPP and MQM-P – saying these entities had ‘stolen’ their party’s mandate during the Feb 8 polls, therefore, no alliance was possible with them.

Talking to the media outside the Islamabad High Court, the PTI chairman maintained that these parties had only won three of 22 seats in Karachi during the elections.

“The rest were ours. Our 15 seats were given to MQM and four to PPP,” he said. “The number [of votes] was changed by adding one at some places and zero at some other places,” he said.
