00:00 Amidst the divisive atmosphere following Pakistan's general elections in 2024, no clear victory

00:06 has emerged.

00:07 However, the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) and Pakistan People's Party have taken a

00:11 significant step by agreeing to forge a coalition government, both at the centre and in Punjab

00:16 province.

01:09 complexity of the political landscape.

01:26 a coalition arrangement.

01:33 process, emphasizing the need for stability and unity to overcome political turmoil.

01:38 International concerns regarding Pakistan's electoral process were voiced by the US, Britain,

01:58 as the largest party and its intention to engage with other groups for coalition formation.

02:03 Imran Khan, despite being incarcerated, conveyed his message through an audio-visual presentation,

02:08 rejecting Sharif's victory claim and urging his supporters to celebrate what he termed

02:12 as a "hard-earned win."

02:15 With voting concluded, amidst challenges including militant attacks and accusations of misconduct,

02:19 Pakistan awaits the formation of a new government.
