PPP will not be part of the coalition government. PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari has made a significant announcement, stating that his party will extend support to the candidate put forth by the PML-N for the coveted position of prime minister.
However, he made it explicitly clear that the PPP will not be part of the coalition government.
In a press conference addressing the media, Bilawal outlined the party’s strategy, revealing that a committee has been formed to engage in discussions with various political entities with the goal of fostering political stability and forming a cohesive government.
Emphasizing the PPP’s stance, Bilawal underscored their decision to refrain from joining the federal government or accepting ministerial roles, citing a commitment to steering clear of political upheaval and ensuring the country’s stability.
Instead, he mentioned the party’s intention to nominate candidates for key constitutional positions such as the National Assembly speaker and Senate chairman.
Notably, Bilawal expressed a personal desire for his father, Asif Ali Zardari, to assume the presidency of Pakistan.
While acknowledging the numerical superiority of the PML-N and independent candidates in the federal government, Bilawal conceded that the PPP lacked the mandate necessary to form a government.
Consequently, he ruled out his own candidacy for the prime ministerial position.
Bilawal also shed light on the dynamics of political engagement, revealing that while the PTI had declined to engage in coalition talks with the PPP, the PML-N had extended a formal invitation for the PPP to join the federal government.
As PPP will not be part of the coalition government, the announcement marks a pivotal moment in Pakistan’s political landscape, as parties navigate alliances and power dynamics in the wake of recent elections.
With the PPP’s decision to support the PML-N’s candidate for prime minister, the stage is set for further developments as the nation moves towards forming its government.
