The two major political players in Pakistan, the Nawaz Sharif-led Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari-led Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), have announced a coalition to govern the nation. This collaboration comes in response to Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) falling short of a majority, despite securing the most seats as independent candidates.
