PML-N works out initial coalition formula​

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has worked out an initial power-sharing formula regarding the formation of the coming federal government, which would be discussed during the talks with the potential allies to cobble up a sustainable coalition.

According to PML-N sources, the initial formula stipulates that if the coalition parties agree to give the post of prime minister to the PML-N, then the post of president and speaker will be given to the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).

Similarly, the post of deputy speaker can be given to the Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) or any of the independent members joining the coalition. Besides, the PML-N may keep the finance ministry, and other ministries will be distributed among allies with mutual consultation.

Poll results dampen foreign policy hopes​

Feb 11,
More than 65 hours after the polling concluded, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Sunday finally announced the complete results.

Results show the PTI-backed candidates are in the lead, followed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and Pakistan Peoples Party stands in the third position.

However, none of the parties have a clear mandate to form a government on their own. Therefore, coalition government is inevitable.
