An MQM-P delegation has called on PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif in Lahore and discussed a power-sharing formula with him.

The delegation from Kara­chi comprised Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori, Farooq Sattar and Mustafa Kamal.

The MQM-P reportedly came to meet Sharif, who is the candidate of six parties for the post of prime minister, to get his assurance that the party will get a “reasonable share” in the upcoming government.

Meanwhile, a delegation of Balochistan Awami Party comprising Khalid Magsi, Senate chairman Sadiq Sanjrani and Senator Kahda Babar also met Shehbaz.
