‘I foresee a stalemate’: Bilawal says PPP adamant on govt formation stance

  • Delay in forming government is because of non-seriousness, Bilawal says
Published February 20, 2024

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said on Tuesday that the party is adamant on its stance regarding formation of a government, adding that it will not be changed at any cost.

“If someone else wants to change their stance, there can be progress. If they are not ready to change it, I foresee a stalemate,” Bilawal said while speaking to the media.

The leader urged all stakeholders to develop consensus to save democracy and the parliamentary system, adding that the people have given a split mandate to all political parties, therefore, “they should sit together for betterment of the country”.

The delay in forming the government is because of non-seriousness, Bilawal said.

“The faster this is resolved, it will be better for stability and the incoming government.”

It has been nearly two weeks since the country held its general elections but there has been no announcement of which party will assume office.

The two major parties, PPP and PML-N, have been holding meetings to try and bridge differences over forming a minority coalition government.

Bilawal has announced conditional support for the PML-N, saying PPP will vote for Shehbaz Sharif to form the government, but will not take positions in cabinet.

Simple fact is that 250 million are at the peril of financial and economic pain, and seems to be their fate. Why must they suffer the leaders?

The bone of power is stuck in the throats of political elite, neither can swallow or take it out. All they foresee is their failure and further fall of support (whatever left of it)!!

None of the politicians and the bigger powers are displaying a sense of action to act for the country benefit. Everyone seems to be focused on own benefit.

Zardari seems to hold some Ace up in his sleeve to trap N Party. Predicting the pack of foxes will not last long.
