Muttahida Qaumi Movement–Pakistan (Urdu: متحدہ قومی موومنٹ پاکستان Muttaḥidah Qọ̄mī Mūwmaṅṫ Pākistān abbr. MQM–P) is a political party in Pakistan. It came into existence due to split within Muttahida Qaumi Movement, and was founded as a separate party by Farooq Sattar, who split it from MQM founder and leader Altaf Hussain. The faction was announced after Sattar's release from custody by the Pakistan Rangers, a paramilitary organization.[1]

Election campaigns

MQM-P participated in two major by-elections since its formation, but was defeated in both.[2][3]

Merger with PSP

On 8 November 2017, MQM Pakistan and Pak Sarzameen Party announced an "establishment-sponsored"[4][5] merger.[6][7][8]

Party desertion

Many MQM lawmakers left the Sattar faction, including deputy mayor Arshad Vohra.[9][10][11][12][13]

PIB vs Bahadurabad faction

MQM-Pakistan further divided into Farooq Sattar (PIB) and Amir Khan (Bahadurabad) factions.[14]
