PPP-PMLN is forming an alliance in Pakistan. On Sunday (February 11), the two sides confirmed the political settlement after top leaders negotiated a night meeting at Bilawal Bhutto's house in Lahore.
Top leaders of the party led by PMLN President Shahbaz Sharif attended the meeting. This was the first formal meeting between the two parties after the announcement of the results of the national elections. The joint statement informed that the leaders discussed the current political situation in detail. The two parties have reached a consensus to protect the country from political instability. However, they will discuss again on Monday on the issue of government formation.
Since the announcement of the results of the National Assembly of Pakistan, the race for political compromise between the parties has started. No party won a single majority in Pakistan's national elections held last Thursday.
Independent candidates supported by former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party PTI won the highest number of 93 seats. PML-N is in second position with 75 seats and PPP is in third position with 54 seats. If these two parties reach an agreement, they will form the government with the support of independent and other small parties.
Earlier some political sources told Geo News that PPP Co-Chairman Zardari has already expressed interest in an alliance with Nawaz Sharif-led PML-N. However, as a condition, he wanted to see Bilawal as the prime minister in the government. However, nothing has been said by PML-N in this regard yet.
