It wasn’t 1997 elections and voter turnout was 20% in Karachi when MQM boycotted. as compared to National average of around 40%. It means that even in a ‘normalized’ election where turnouts have been around 40%, MQM should get 20% of votes even if all the extra votes go for MQM. That is not the case, I’m sorry.

No one said that MQM should get X % votes. There is no doubt that votes bank of a party can change with time and it happened many time in Karachi.

I was mentioning about one election that happened in 1993 (sorry that i put wrongly 1997 in my earlier post). In 1993 MQM boycotted NA election and turnout was not 20 percent but was probably less than 5 percent on MQM stronghold seats, and candidates on MQM strongholds with few thousand votes won seats. Anyhow, few days later in 1993 provincial assembly election MQM participated. Result was over 40 percent turnout on MQM strongholds and MQM candidates got over 100000 votes to win.
