Magic number achieved: Shehbaz PM, Zardari president as PPP, PML-N finally agree
|
 [GEO.TV] After days-long debate and discussion, the Pakistain Peoples Party (PPP) and the Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz (PML-N) late Tuesday forged an agreement to form a coalition government in the Centre as no party secured a simple majority in the February 8 general election.
The Pak establishment fixes a win. We saw that coming.
Following much uncertainty post-polls, top leaders from both major parties confirmed that they were once again joining forces to form the government "in the nation’s best interest".
The nation's best interest involves dynastic politix, jailing your political enemies, and occasionally bumping them off.
"The Pakistain Peoples Party and the Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz now have complete numbers and we are in the position to form the next government," PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari told a presser in Islamabad alongside top leaders from both the parties late Tuesday.
No political party secured a simple majority in the February 8 elections, forcing parties to join hands in their bid to come into power, but the delay of an agreement had raised eyebrows.
After the Feb 8 polls, the PTI-backed independent candidates controlled the most National Assembly seats (92) followed by the PML-N (79) and the PPP (54).
While parties were wheeling and dealing over the government formation, the Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf

(SIC) to ensure it gets the required numbers through reserved seats in the assemblies.
However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
the PPP chief told news hounds that the SIC did not have sufficient numbers to form the next government in the Centre.
Bilawal said Shehbaz Sharif would be the next prime minister and Zardari would be the joint candidate for both parties for the president’s slot.
He added that both parties would form the next government to pull the country out of the ongoing crises and expressed hope that they would be able to deliver.
To a question regarding PML-N leader Ishaq Dar’s nomination as Senate chairman, Bilawal replied that decisions were taken in the meetings, but would be announced separately by each party.
"If we look at the past, we have announced the coalition and made decisions with consensus very quickly compared to previous tenures," he continued.
PPP Co-chairman Zardari said that he wants to assure people that their struggle is for "you, Pakistain, and the coming generations".
"We have come to terms on the point that we have to ensure Pakistain’s success for the coming generations," he added.
