“I firmly believe that my running mate should able to continue and maintain my policies in the event that I am incapacitated, for what ever reason” Umar said.
Umar said that IDP is shocked to see MDP supporting to elect an Election Commission favorable to DRP. Umar condemning the MDP action of supporting to elect an Election Commission favorable to DRP said he cannot accept such tactics. However he said he accepted the legality of the Commission.

He said the discussions took place approximately 3 weeks ago and that talks failed as neither JP’s presidential candidate Qasim or IDP’s candidate Umar was will step aside.
