The two former allies made the announcement at a press conference at the residence of ANP leader and senator, Shahi Syed. A delegation of PPP leaders, including Qadir Patel, met Shahi Syed and other leaders of ANP Sindh.
"PPP and ANP workers share very close affiliations on the grassroot level," said Patel. "To a large extent, this is a very natural, organic association."
Both the parties have formed district-level committees which will examine the possibility of seat adjustment for the posts of chairperson, vice chairperson and councillor in the respective areas.
The PPP leader went on to say that his party was in touch with other political parties as well.
"We want to see the 'real Karachi mandate' emerging," Patel added.
Patel had suggested a couple of months ago that the PPP should form a grand alliance with several political outfits excluding the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, for the Sindh local government elections.
"On the behalf of PPP, I suggest that PTI, PAT, PML-N and JI forge an alliance, so that the terrorists lose their fake mandate and the real peacemakers come into power," he had said.
