Pakistan Election 2024: Coalition agreement emerges in Pakistan as PML-N and PPP prepare to govern together

In the aftermath of Pakistan's elections, the political landscape remains uncertain as final results are pending. However, amidst this uncertainty, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) have agreed to form a coalition government. This coalition is expected to extend across federal and provincial levels. PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif's indication towards forming a coalition government was followed by a significant meeting between PML-N's Shahbaz Sharif, PPP's Bilawal Bhutto, and former President Asif Ali Zardari. While the counting of 250 out of 265 seats has concluded, PTI-backed independents maintain a lead with 99 seats, followed by PML-N with 71 seats and PPP with 53 seats.
