In a recent news conference, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif clarified the party’s stance, stating that they would sit in the Opposition if independents form a government at the Centre. Shehbaz Sharif revealed ongoing discussions with PPP, MQM-P, and JUI, aiming to form an alliance under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif.
Contrary to previous speculations, senior PML-N leader Khawaja Asif disclosed that Nawaz Sharif will not be the party’s prime ministerial candidate. Instead, Shehbaz Sharif, Nawaz Sharif’s brother, set to be the PML-N’s nominee for the prime ministership.
The possibility of a coalition government at the federal level is emerging, with Khawaja Asif indicating that the coalition partners will collectively decide on the name of the prime minister. This approach implies a collaborative decision-making process among various political parties involved in the coalition, with a potential role for the PPP in proposing a candidate for the prime minister’s slot.
In the midst of political discussions, Shehbaz Sharif expressed concerns about alleged restrictions on voter participation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and emphasized the need for transforming challenges into opportunities for a positive national outlook.
As the political landscape unfolds, the PML-N aims to position itself as a major player with majority representation in Punjab and a significant role at the national level. The party committed to addressing the prevailing economic crisis and has pledged to accept election results in the broader national interest.
In the evolving political scenario, the focus remains on the potential coalition government and the emergence of Shehbaz Sharif as the PML-N’s candidate for the prime ministership. The final decision on the new Pakistan Prime Minister will be a collaborative effort involving various political stakeholders.
