PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said, “PPP and PML-N have achieved the required number and [now] we are in a position to form the government in Center,” during a joint news conference held at Zardari House in Islamabad.

In order to establish government in the Center, Bilawal Bhutto noted that the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC) and candidates supported by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) were unable to secure a simple majority.

He prayed that they would be successful in resolving Pakistan’s issues and declared that both parties will form a coalition government with PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif serving as prime minister once more.

Additionally, Bilawal declared that his father Asif Ali Zardari will get the backing of the PML-N to run for president. He declared, “Asif Zardari would be our joint candidate for president,” stressing that they all wished to serve the aspirations of the populace.

Speaking at the event, PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif acknowledged the “efforts” of dialogue committees for the successful end to the discussions and stated that his party now has the “required numbers” with the PPP to be in a position to form the next government.

Shehbaz stated that the coalition alliance will work together to overcome the various challenges and problems that the incoming administration will face.

“We have already extended an invitation to the independent members who won the majority to form government,” he said. He did point out that even after collaborating with MWM and the Sunni Ittehad Council (SIC), they were unable to reach their target numbers.

In this respect, he also expressed gratitude to other affiliated parties including the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP), Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q), and Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P).

Asif Ali Zardari, the co-chair of the PPP, has stated that the nation and future generations are the reasons behind the political alliance’s battle to form the next administration.

Formula for Power Sharing

In the meanwhile, Bilawal Bhutto declined to divulge the power-sharing formula and stated that the PML-N and PPP will share important constitutional posts in more detail at a later time.

Shehbaz Sharif stated in response to a query that the PPP hasn’t asked for a ministry since the very beginning.

“Parleys occur between two parties, and problems are settled by talking things out together. He said, “Reaching a middle ground is the true test of political success; it does not imply that we give in to their demands or that they accept ours. They have their opinions.

According to sources who spoke with ARY News, the PPP would not join the federal cabinet; instead, the Bilawal-led party will name the Senate Chairman and the governors of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).

Furthermore, sources claimed that PML-N would get the posts of National Assembly (NA) speaker and Governors of Sindh and Balochistan.

When Mahira Khan recently appeared at a fundraising meet and greet in the UK, she was asked in a quick-cut segment to name one characteristic of Indian and Pakistani movie stars that their millions of fans are unaware of.

“I don’t know if you guys know this, but his sense of humour is very dry and satirical,” Khan revealed when discussing Fahad Mustafa. It is extremely British, and I am very much like it.

In response to a question concerning an unidentified quality of celebrity Humayun Saeed, the “Aik Hai Nigar” actress revealed that she recently wrapped up working with him and added, “He is a child.” He certainly looks like a man and does not have a childlike appearance, yet on the set he acts like a preoccupied child.

Khan exclaimed, “What’s beautiful about Shah Rukh is that you feel very important [while talking to him],” as he finally revealed one quality about the actor. Because he responds to messages or conversations with you in a way that is really specific to you.

Mahira Khan made her Bollywood debut in Rahul Dholakia’s crime action film “Raees” (2017), where she costarred with Shah Rukh Khan. Critics gave the movie generally favourable reviews and it was one of the highest-grossing films of the year.

The PML-N won by a greater margin in by-elections than in general elections.

Published

Statistics indicate that the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) and its allies’ candidates won by a wider margin in by-elections than in the general elections held in Kasur and Lahore.

Because the PML-N and its allies kept the seats they had previously lost, their victories in Lahore and Kasur are not particularly noteworthy.

However, their lead over their runners-up is greater than the lead their previous winners had in general elections, which is something their leaders and employees should be proud of, especially in light of the fact that their political rivals are holding nationwide demonstrations to protest the notion that their mandate was stolen in general elections.

Let’s examine fasts.

In the general elections, Maryam Nawaz emerged victorious in NA-119 Lahore-III, leading by 15,479 points, while in the by-polls, PML-N candidate Ali Pervaiz Malik triumphed over his opponent Shehzad Farooq by a margin of 26, 889.

Kasur II (NA-132) In the general election, Shehbaz Sharif was victorious against his adversary Sardar Muhammad Hussain Dogar, leading by 26,115. Meanwhile, in the by-election, PML-N candidate Malik Rasheed Ahmad defeated Dogar, leading by 55,869.

PML-N candidate Malik Riaz defeated PTI-backed candidate Muhammad Khan Madani in by-polls with a margin of 15,293, while PML-N candidate Hamza Shehbaz Sharif won by-elections in PP-147 with a lead of 5,339 over Madani.

In the general elections in PP-149, IPP candidate Aleem Khan defeated Zeeshan Rasheed, the candidate supported by the PTI, by a margin of 3,758. In the by-elections, IPP candidate Shoaib Siddiqui defeated Zeeshan Rasheed, the candidate of the SIC, by a margin of 21,522.

In general elections, Shehbaz Sharif of the PML-N defeated Muhammad Yousaf, the candidate supported by the PTI, by a margin of 1,180 votes in PP-64, whereas Rashid Minhas of the PLM-N defeated Muhammad Yousaf, the candidate of the SIC, by a margin of 5,718 votes in by-polls.

The only constituency in the by-election where the PML-N candidate has a somewhat smaller margin of victory is PP-158. In general elections, PML-N candidate Shehbaz Sharif had defeated PTI-backed adversary Yousaf Ali in this constituency by a margin of 14,795 votes; however, in by-polls, PML-N candidate Muhammad Nawaz had defeated SIC candidate Moonis Elahi by a margin of 12,147 votes.

The PML-N leadership attributes this win to its economic policies, particularly to the steps made by Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, like the Ramazan Nigehban Package and the lowering of roti and naan prices.

The government’s dynamic economic policies, according to a statement from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, are what allowed the PML-N to win the by-election by a landslide.

PML-N leader Atta Tarar had stated that the public trusted the administration and appreciated its people-friendly actions, rejecting the PTI’s “confrontation” politics.

On social media, Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz greeted the party members and declared that the PML-N is the genuine representative of Pakistan’s people.

She claimed that the PTI’s allegations that the elections were rigged were refuted by the results of the by-elections.

Conversely, Sunni Itehad Council (SIC), which was formed through a merger with PIT, did not receive the same level of public support in by-polls as its candidates did in general elections.
