Shehbaz Sharif is leading the race for the PM House, marking his highly anticipated return to the premiership.
Despite initial reservations, Shehbaz garnered support from prominent leaders of six major parties, setting the stage for a new government at the Centre and provinces, excluding the PTI.
The scene at Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain’s residence evoked a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of the Pakistan Democratic Movement's reunion post-election split.
Despite Shehbaz's continuous insistence on nominating Nawaz Sharif for the prime ministership, he ultimately received his brother's endorsement to lead the unified house.
The announcement, promptly tweeted by Marriyum Aurangzeb, indicated a premeditated decision.
Maryam Nawaz is set to be the coalition’s nominee for Punjab chief minister.
PTI's response was succinct, sharing a photo of the six leaders with the caption "Mandate thieves" on their official Twitter account.
