Abidi submitted his resignation to MQM-P’s convener Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui.
According to sources, the former member of the National Assembly (MNA) has quit in disappointment over the party overlooking him and nominating Faisal Sabzwari in his stead.
Abidi contested the July 25 polls from NA-243 and was defeated by PTI chairman Imran Khan, who later went on to vacate the seat.
