KARACHI: Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) lawmaker Ali Khurshidi is all set to become the leader of the opposition in the Sindh Assembly as his party filed an application before the speaker on Monday.

The application stated that Mr Khurshidi enjoyed support from maximum number of opposition lawmakers in the house and he shall be declared the leader of the opposition.

The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf-backed Sunni Ittehad Council and the lone member of the Jamaat-i-Islami did not support the MQM-P nominee as a joint candidate for the slot of the opposition leader as they did not sign the application.
