Indeed, my family and extended relatives in Karachi who have almost exclusively voted for MQM since the 1988 elections are all voting for PTI this time. There are even some relatives in Mirpurkhas (Sindh) who are voting for PTI. I am going to Karachi in less than two weeks and so will find out more. But I have a strong feeling that if no coercion is done by MQM then PTI can grab a few seats from Karachi.I know a family who was a staunch supporter of MQM is now suporting PTI. I hope MQM takes out more rallies for the support of Zardari so more Karachiites get disappointed with them. .
It is not that MQM's rallies for Zardari are hurting MQM. I think people all over Pakistan are tired of the violence, the corruption, the same-old faces, the same slogans. They really want 'change'. Imran at least promises them that.
PS. MQM-supporters: Indeed, Karachi is not some rural backwaters where people will keep voting for the same people regardless of changing circumstances. Karachi is the most literate major city of Pakistan. Keep that in mind.
