Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan had earlier decided to join PTI to form the federal government.
Siddiqui while speaking on media, confirmed his party’s leaning after the results of the General Election 2018.
“The Pakistan Peoples’ Party does not need anyone in Sindh. The MQM-P will sit alongside the PTI on government benches,” he had said. “We respect everyone’s mandate and want everyone to respect ours.
He said that after a ‘series of experiences’ it was unlikely to join the PPP.
Earlier in the day, the PPP had told the MQM-P that it must make a choice between joining the federal government and Sindh government.
