Nawaz calls for coalition govt, invites winning parties, candidates

Lahore: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif has called upon political parties and independent candidates victorious in the elections to come together and collaboratively form the next government to navigate the country out of crises.

Nawaz Sharif revealed that he assigned Shehbaz Sharif to engage with Asif Ali Zardari, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, and Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui to pursue this objective.

Addressing supporters at the party's secretariat in Model Town on Friday, Nawaz Sharif emphasized that the PML-N has emerged as the largest political party in the recent election, but acknowledged that they lacked a simple majority to form a government independently.
