Karachi has become a major battleground for all the national and regional parties. A city which generates the bulk of Pakistan’s revenue and is the cornerstone of Pakistan’s economic stability is buzzing with the political activity.
PTI which emerged as the second largest party in Karachi after MQM-Pakistan in 2013, is targeting a major haul in the upcoming polls. PTI which remained largely absent in the city in last-five years is trying desperately to fill the void left by the unraveling of MQM-P. PSP, MQM-P, PPP and even PML-N are aiming to win big in Karachi. In 2013, PPP, PTI, and PML-N had won a seat apiece, and rest of the seats went to MQM.
