Former Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) leader Kamran Tessori has withdrawn from July 25 parliamentary elections.

“The entire authority of the MQM-Pakistan falls under Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui. So the responsibility for the results will also fall on him,” said the displeased party member while addressing a press conference in Karachi on Monday.

The former MQM leader said he doesn’t have any ideological differences with the party. “I don’t want to give any excuse to MQM-P Bahadurabad faction,” said Kamran Tessori, adding that he had reservations over the census and delimitation of constituencies in Sindh.

Tessori had been contesting the elections as an independent candidate.
