ISLAMABAD:
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is likely to give a blow to the new government of Shahbaz Sharif.
Despite utmost efforts from the PM Shahbaz Sharif the PPP is unlikely to join the new government in Islamabad. PPP appears to be reluctant to join the federal cabinet due to division in its ranks as most of its leaders are seeking support for electoral reforms without taking ministries.
In this regard, sources said PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari have started consultations on the matter in the light of different and contradictory views.
The sources said most of the PPP leaders are seeking the new federal government’s support for electoral reforms without taking charge of ministries.
Some of the leaders are of the opinion that they should join the federal cabinet for political stability. They believe that participation is necessary for political stability, and if they did not join the cabinet, the coalition government would not be able to function for even two months.
