Pakistan: coalition agrees to form government and shut out Imran Khan’s party

A coalition including the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PLM-N) and the Pakistan People’s party (PPP) have agreed to form the next government of Pakistan, ensuring that the party of former prime minister Imran Khan will not take power despite getting the most votes in the election.

At a press conference in Islamabad on Tuesday night, it was confirmed that the rival parties had agreed, with two smaller coalition partners, to form a joint government “to take Pakistan out of difficulty” and that PLM-N’s president, Shehbaz Sharif, would be their sole nominee for prime minister.

Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party hit out at the coalition, calling them “mandate thieves”.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

At a press conference in Islamabad on Tuesday night, it was confirmed that the rival parties had agreed, with two smaller coalition partners, to form a joint government “to take Pakistan out of difficulty” and that PLM-N’s president, Shehbaz Sharif, would be their sole nominee for prime minister.

The announcement followed days of wrangling and political horse-trading after Pakistan’s election last week dramatically delivered the most votes – but not enough for a majority – to PTI, despite military opposition and a state-led crackdown.

PTI had pledged to form a government but faced numerous obstacles, including its candidates being forced to run as independents and Khan, its leader and choice for prime minister, serving multiple jail sentences of more than 10 years.

It is understood that Bilawal Bhutto, Zardari’s son and co-chair of the PPP, was resistant to the party being too closely aligned with the coalition government, given the widespread support for PTI among the masses and the unpopularity of PML-N.

After Khan was removed from power in April 2022, the coalition ruled with Shehbaz Sharif as prime minister, but it was largely unpopular because of its failure to bring the country’s economic crisis under control.

Nonetheless, the new coalition government will take power under a cloud of public distrust and questions of legitimacy, given the high numbers who turned out to vote for Khan and PTI and against parties that were seen as having enabled military interference in politics.
