Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif are unlikely to form a coalition with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) citing that ‘it is not an appropriate form of government’ and also ‘it is not easy to deal with the Zardaris on a day-to-day basis’. Last week, PML-N announced an alliance with PPP and four other parties and nominated Shehbaz for the PM post in a surprise move. Soon after that, Shehbaz said, “Today we have united to tell the nation that we all accept the split mandate.
I am thankful to Zardari and Bilawal (Bhutto) that they decided for their party to vote for the PML-N." Further, promising to pull the country out of trouble, he said, “Now our war is against the country’s challenges. The first challenge is the economy. We have to stabilise it which is a tall task.
Nations move forward when their leadership unites and decides to end conflicts and take the nation forward to eliminate problems." Meanwhile, Asif Ali Zardari speaking alongside Shehbaz said that a coalition government is the need of the hour. He said, “We have decided to form a coalition government and pull the country out of the economic crisis," and further added that the new government would also try to reconcile with everyone including the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party of Imran Khan.
