The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) are contemplating a novel alliance to govern the federal government, as reported by Geo News on Monday. This alliance has discussed the potential of alternating prime ministers from each party, serving three and two-year terms at the helm.
During their inaugural meeting on Sunday at Bilawal House in Lahore, both parties deliberated on the prospect of appointing a prime minister for half of the term, mirroring a power-sharing model previously implemented by the PML-N and the National Party (NP) in Balochistan in 2013.
