KARACHI: Former Muttahida Qaumi Movement MNA Nabil Gabol on Wednesday announced to rejoin Pakistan People's Party, after nearly four years of estrangement.
Gabol had abandoned his ties with the PPP to join the MQM on March 13, 2013. Upon joining the MQM, he had said the PPP was no longer the party of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, therefore, he decided to end his 25-year-long affiliation with it.
However, it is now that Nabil Gabol announced to rejoin his old party, with his son confirming it on Twitter.
