The process of forming a new government in Pakistan remains at a standstill as the two major political parties, PML-N and PPP, engage in extensive negotiation sessions.
Despite a recent five-hour meeting held at the residence of PML-N leader Ishaq Dar, a conclusive decision has yet to be reached, underscoring the intricacies of the political landscape and the challenges of securing a majority coalition.
The discussions aimed to finalize recommendations for a potential alliance, but both parties are focused on maximizing their gains and addressing internal concerns, prolonging the process.
Representatives from PPP, including Murad Ali Shah, Qamar Zaman Kaira, and Nadeem Afzal Chan, along with delegates from PML-N led by Ishaq Dar and Azam Nazir Tarar, participated in the talks.
Further complicating matters, both parties have opted to consult their leadership before advancing further, indicating that crucial decisions regarding power-sharing, ministerial appointments, and policy agendas are still up for discussion.
Although there are reports of some progress, as mentioned by Senator Azam Nazir Tarar from PML-N, who described the talks as positive, uncertainties linger. Tarar also raised concerns about alleged electoral irregularities, suggesting potential challenges ahead as the parties work to reconcile their differences.
