Sharif to seek coalition government as results show opposition gains

Former PM Sharif plans to form a coalition government after election results.

In the wake of the recently held parliamentary elections in Pakistan, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has expressed his intention to form a coalition government. Sharif's party faced a setback as independent candidates, backed by his political rival, emerged as front-runners in the election results. Seeking to consolidate his power and regain political influence, Sharif has now turned to forming a coalition with other parties.

Addressing his supporters, Sharif announced his decision to appoint his younger brother, Shabazz Sharif, to meet with the leaders of various political parties. The purpose is to extend invitations for these parties to join forces and form a coalition government. This move is seen as a strategic play by Sharif to unite like-minded political forces and strengthen his position in the country's political landscape.
