The Liberal National Party will pull pamphlets alleging Katter's Australian Party has sealed preference deals with Labor and the Greens ahead of the state election.

Bob Katter launched a formal injunction on Friday over the "Ready for Chaos?" cards.

He said voters would be misled by allegations that his party had struck a deal to "call the daily shots for a Palaszczuk Labor Government".

But that injunction has been withdrawn after lawyers for the LNP agreed to stop publishing the pamphlets, KAP president Shane Paulger said on Friday evening.

"The Katter's Australian Party has achieved (the) desired result," he said.

"We have withdrawn our application."
