The former mayor of Karachi, Mustafa Kamal, held a third press conference earlier today afternoon announcing the arrival of Waseem Aftab and Iftikhar Alam into his new, as yet-unnamed party.
“Today, I welcome two friends, Waseem Aftab former Rabita Committee member and former head of KTC and Iftikhar Alam, who is member of the Sindh Assembly from Azizabad,” said Kamal at the start of the press conference.
Iftikhar Alam was fielded by the MQM for PS-106 constituency of Karachi’s Azizbabad area where the party headqauerters Nine Zero is located.
Earlier morning today, MQM workers launched the ‘Clean Karachi Campaign’ (CKC) as scheduled by top party representative Farooq Sattar in an announcement earlier this week to clean up both streets and minds in Karachi.
The MQM leader had claimed that the initiative will ‘kill two birds with one stone’, as the party fends off rumours of party chief Altaf Hussain’s ill-health as well as the return of Mustafa Kamal and Anees Qaimkhani to the political scene and Dr Sagheer Ahmed’s switch of loyalty towards Mustafa Kamal, leaving his political party of 28 years.
