Speaking in a press conference here, he said that Pakistan Peoples` Party and PML-N can win the next general elections. “There are 90 percent chances that PMLN wins from Punjab and PPP from Sindh,” he added.

He said that a political force is needed in Pakistan to defeat PPP and PML-N.

The former president has been quite active regarding the country’s political horizon since a while.

In November 2016, an important meeting was held between Musharraf and representatives from MQM-Pakistan. MQM-Pakistan leader Khawaja Izhar met with the former president in Dubai and discussed the country’s political situation with an emphasis on Karachi.
