Leaders from prominent Pakistani political parties, including the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), Pakistan Muslim League, Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP), and Balochistan Awami Party (BAP), have announced their intent to establish a coalition government.

This decision emerged from a strategic meeting held at the residence of Chaudhary Shujaat Hussain, where leaders deliberated on governance strategies.

Following the meeting, Asif Ali Zardari addressed the media, emphasizing the determination to form a unified government focused on critical issues like the economy and defense to ensure Pakistan’s success. He stressed that despite electoral competition, the parties are not ideological adversaries and can collectively manage the country.

Zardari also expressed openness to include the PTI in reconciliation efforts.

Shahbaz Sharif, acknowledging the conclusion of the election phase, highlighted the importance of stabilizing the economy as the new parliament takes shape. He expressed gratitude for the recent IMF agreement and emphasized the significance of national unity for progress. Sharif also appreciated Bilawal Bhutto’s support and noted the coalition’s substantial electoral mandate.

“Thank you, Chaudhary Shujaat, for hosting us all here,” expressed Shahbaz Sharif as he acknowledged the gathering. “The election phase has concluded, and Parliament is on the brink of formation,” he continued, emphasizing the transition. “It is imperative for the economy to stabilize,” he asserted, underlining the significance of financial strength.

Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui of the MQM emphasized the coalition’s commitment to national well-being, stating their past support for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and their unity in the present endeavor. Similarly, Sadiq Sanjrani of the BAP expressed optimism for a better future through collaborative efforts.

Abdul Aleem Khan of the IPP, while cautiously optimistic, recognized the challenges posed by inflation but remained hopeful that by prioritizing national interests over personal agendas, solutions could be found.
