WEB DESK: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chief Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari addressed a press conference in Islamabad following discussions with the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) delegation regarding the formation of the government in the Centre.
In his opening remarks at the press conference, Bilawal stated, “PPP and PML-N have attained the necessary numbers, and now we are in a position to form the government.”
He further announced that PPP and PML-N will join forces to establish a coalition government, with PML-N leader Shehbaz Sharif poised to once again assume the role of the country’s prime minister.
Bilawal emphasized that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-backed candidates and the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) fell short of achieving a simple majority to form the government in the Centre.
