Analysts say that the mayor of Karachi can either come from People’s Party or will come from Jamaat-e-Islami. But this difficult phase for Jamaat-e-Islami because in their view, People’s Party is a corrupt party and the same kind of view is also related to PTI. So now it is difficult for them to form an alliance or not, or they sit isolated, and this situation will not be acceptable to many constituencies.
