ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said that coalition parties will contest elections separately as Pakistan Democratic Movement is not an election alliance.

He said that timely elections are important for economic stability and other issues, if elections are not held on time it will further deteriorate economy. Political parties are banned but it bear no results, he added. Rana Sanaullah maintained that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif is thinking of timely elections and his return to Pakistan. Interior Minister said that after elections Pakistan needs charter of economy. Furthermore, claimed divided vote bank of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf will come to PPP, PML-N and Jahangir Tareen group.

With en masse exodus of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leaders and Jahangir Tareen estranged PTI leader getting active, Sanaullah believes that former close aide of Imran Khan’s move to gather party deserters would not harm Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz as PML-N’s “Vote bank is not going anywhere”. “On Jahangir Tareen’s issue N-League should remain calm as our vote bank is not going anywhere,” Sanaullah said. In Punjab, it is PML-N against PTI but after May 9 rioting, situation had changed, he added.

“PTI will get divided into two or three parts. One part will go into PPP, second to Jahangir Tareen and third will remain in PTI,” Sana predicted.
