Amid fractured mandate and consensus between PML(N) and PPP to form a coalition government in Pakistan, former Pakistani Premier Nawaz Sharif nominated his brother Shehbaz Sharif as PM candidate. Besides, PML-N Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz was nominated for the post of Punjab’s chief minister.

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb took to social media platform X to announce the decision of her party in this regard.

“Mr. Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League -N, has nominated Mr. Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif for the post of Prime Minister of Pakistan, while Ms Nawaz Sharif has been nominated for the post of Chief Minister Punjab,” Marriyum Aurangzeb posted.

Political parties, including PML(N), PPP, PML-Q, MQM-P have come together to form a government in now-politically unstable Pakistan. Earlier, PPP co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari said that he and other political leaders have decided to form the government together.“We will take Pakistan out of difficulty,” he said. Zardari said the decision on this was taken after realising the challenges faced by Pakistan.

MQM-Pakistan Convener Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui has said that no interest was greater than serving Pakistan for any party and he was willing to support Shehbaz Sharif to ‘strengthen democracy’.

Accepting the split verdict, Shehbaz Sharif thanked Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal for supporting his party. He also noted that with the support of several parties, he had managed to garner “almost 2/3 majority” in the Parliament.
