What options did the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) have after the 2018 general elections? This question has many answers. One of the many answers to this question could be that it could have joined the grand opposition alliance to become part of a nationwide anti-election results protest. But why would it take such a course when one of the principal components of the grand opposition, Pakistan People's Party, is certainly going to form its government in Sindh without the support of any party. Not only has PPP increased its number of seats in the Sindh Assembly as compared to the 2013 general elections, it has also improved its position on the national level. Yet this party believes that the elections have been rigged against its candidates, including its chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari who lost in the Lyari constituency in Karachi. It is also interesting to note that PML-N still stands a chance to form its government in Punjab; yet it is a critical component of the grand anti-election results alliance. In my view, the post-Altaf Husain MQM has taken a correct decision to become junior partner in the PTI-led coalition government at Centre and PTI-led Opposition in Sindh. Through this decision it can nurse some legitimate ambitions to regain the NA-243 seat that PTI chairman Imran Khan will be vacating anytime soon.
