Former military ruler-turned-politician Pervez Musharraf filed his nomination papers on Friday to contest elections for the National Assembly from three constituencies – NA-250 (Karachi), NA-32 (Chitral) and NA-48 (Islamabad).
On the other hand, sources said that a five-member APML committee, headed by Brigadier (retired) Rashid Qureshi, was in contact with other political groups, including MQM and PML-Likeminded for possible seat adjustments.
Qamar Mansoor of the MQM confirmed discussions were ongoing but added that any decision on seat adjustments would be made only after all parties submit their nomination papers.
