Abstract

Pakistan's two main family-controlled parties, the Pakistan Peoples Party and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, have agreed to form a coalition government, breaking a two-week deadlock and potentially keeping Imran Khan's party out of power. Shehbaz Sharif will be the prime minister, while Bilawal Bhutto Zardari's father, Asif Ali Zardari, will be nominated as president. The announcement comes after the inconclusive February 8 election, in which Khan's party won the most seats but fell short of a majority. The new coalition government will face challenges in managing the economy and making decisions due to the need to accommodate multiple perspectives. [Extracted from the article]
