Pakistan's ruling party, which held a general election this month, has announced that it will form a coalition government with Shahbaz Sharif, who served as prime minister until August last year, as its candidate for prime minister. On the other hand, the opposition party led by former Prime Minister Khan, a former cricket star, is said to have won the most seats, and chaos is expected due to backlash from supporters.
In Pakistan's general election held on the 8th of this month, the ruling party ``Muslim League Sharif,'' led by brothers Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif, both former prime ministers, won only 75 seats, making it a majority. Since the proposal was not received, negotiations have been underway to form a coalition.
Against this backdrop, on the night of the 13th, the ruling party held a joint press conference with multiple political parties, including the People's Party, with which it had previously formed a coalition, and announced that they had agreed to form a coalition government.
The ruling party has also nominated his younger brother Shahbaz Sharif, who served as prime minister until August last year, as its candidate for prime minister.
Meanwhile, according to local media, candidates from the opposition party Justice Movement, led by Khan, a former cricket star who has been convicted and detained on corruption charges, will run in 266 constituencies in the general election. Of these, they won 93 seats, the most.
The ``Justice Movement'' has been protesting in various places because the number of votes for defeated candidates has been announced to be lower than the actual number, and chaos is expected due to backlash from supporters.
