KARACHI:  Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has emerged the single largest party in the local bodies’ elections, therefore it has the right to have its mayor.

“Had the MQM not boycotted the [local govt] elections our opponents would not have taken such a number of seats and this they know very well.”

This he said while talking to the media just after presiding over the Convocation of NAPA at Hindu Gymkhana on Tuesday. To a question, the CM said that had there been some compulsions that’s why the Sindh government wanted to delay the election, otherwise PPP would have taken many more seats than it has taken. “We had requested MQM to avoid boycotting the election, but their party decided to do so, as a result their votes went in their (JI) share, otherwise they were not in a position even to take such a number of seats.

Mr. Shah said that in the history of the city, the PPP appointed its Administrator (Murtaza Wahab) for the first time and what he had delivered is not secret to any Karachiites. “Our party has the history of serving this city and its people and Inshallah we [PPP] would be serving them as chief ministers and mayor,” he said.

Murad Ali Shah said that he has convened a post-Geneva Conference on January 8 in which the donor agencies would be given projects for the financial support they had pledged at Geneva.

Replying to another question, he said that around 20,000 school buildings have been damaged by the heavy rains and flood.
