In a major development, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif has reportedly disclosed to his party leaders a significant political development involving the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and its chairman, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.
The ‘Zardari’ deal
According to Shehbaz Sharif, former president Asif Ali Zardari has purportedly demanded the prime minister’s slot for his son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in any potential coalition government. Additionally, Zardari has allegedly sought major ministerial portfolios for the PPP.
In exchange for these demands, Zardari has offered the PPP’s support to the PML-N to form its government in Punjab, as disclosed by Shehbaz Sharif to his party’s leadership. This revelation marks a crucial turn in the ongoing political negotiations and power dynamics within Pakistan’s political landscape.
The prospect of a coalition government between the PML-N and PPP, with Bilawal Bhutto Zardari potentially assuming the role of Prime Minister, indicates a strategic realignment and pursuit of shared objectives among key political players.
