PMLN and PPP agree to form joint federal government in surprise coalition

The PML(N) and PPP have agreed to form a coalition government at both the federal and Punjab levels, following talks between Shehbaz Sharif and PPP leaders Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Asif Ali Zardari, aiming to tackle Pakistan's political and economic challenges through unity and collaboration.

LAHORE (The Thursday Times) — The Thursday Times has learrnt that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) have decided to join forces, forming a coalition government at both the federal and Punjab levels. This strategic alliance was confirmed following a meeting between PMLN president Shehbaz Sharif and PPP luminaries, Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and former President Asif Ali Zardari, signalling a concerted effort to address Pakistan’s political and economic challenges.

The meeting, hosted at the residence of Caretaker Punjab Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi, saw Shehbaz Sharif extending an olive branch on behalf of his brother, Nawaz Sharif, to the PPP leadership. The discussions revolved around the formation of a future government, emphasising political and economic stability in the country. According to sources close to the matter, both parties agreed to carve out a power-sharing arrangement, detailing the distribution of key offices through mutual consultation in forthcoming meetings.

The coalition talks come on the heels of a call for unity from Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, the PMLN’s supremo and a 3-time former prime minister, who urged all political factions to collaborate in forming a government to rescue the nation from its predicaments. Nawaz Sharif’s appeal, made during a speech to party workers in Lahore’s Model Town, highlighted the PMLN’s electoral success and its readiness to lead the country out of its current turmoil.

Nawaz Sharif underscored the necessity for a united front among political parties, the military, and the media to ensure Pakistan’s stability, suggesting a decade-long period of concerted effort for substantial progress. He articulated a vision of reconciliation and cooperation, devoid of conflict, as the only path forward for Pakistan, especially in light of the economic challenges it faces.

The announcement of a coalition government, amid the absence of a clear majority, marks a significant moment in Pakistan’s democratic process. It reflects a mature approach towards governance, where dialogue and compromise pave the way for national development. Nawaz Sharif’s narrative of inclusivity and cooperation was mirrored in his assurances to alleviate the common man’s burdens, promising relief in utilities, healthcare, and education.
