"Pakistan's Political Landscape Shifts as Sharif and Bhutto Form Coalition Government"
After the 2024 Pakistani elections, the PML-N and PPP have formed a coalition to potentially govern the nation, with Shehbaz Sharif emerging as the potential candidate for prime minister. The coalition faces the challenge of forming a government with a minimum required number of 169 seats and potentially reaching two-thirds majority of 224 seats in the 336-member Pakistan National Assembly. However, the distribution of key positions within the coalition remains unclear, leaving room for negotiations and speculation. The success of this coalition in forming the next government hinges on effective negotiations, internal cohesion, and addressing the challenges posed by allegations of election irregularities.
