PMLN and PPP Coalition to Form New Government in Pakistan

Political Parties Strike Deal After Controversial Election

After a hotly contested election in Pakistan, two major political parties, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), have come together to form a new government. Despite not winning a majority of seats individually, the parties have joined forces to establish a coalition government, much to the dismay of Imran Khan’s PTI party.

New Leadership and Goals

The coalition, led by Shahbaz Sharif of the PMLN and Bilawal Bhutto Zardaro of the PPP, aims to address economic challenges facing the country. Former Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is poised to become prime minister for a second term, with Asif Ali Zardari of the PPP set to be the candidate for president.
