Stay tuned with 24 News HD Android App
Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) is ‘split’ on whether to join the next federal cabinet to be formed most likely under the premiership of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Sources told 24News that a majority of party leaders were in favour of cooperating with the new government only to the extent of introducing electoral reforms while others wanted to become the part of the federal cabinet for the sake of political stability in the country.
Sources added that the latter group thought if the PPP did not join the cabinet, the new government might not last even for two months.
Divergent views within the party had prompted PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and former president Asif Ali Zardari to choose the best option together, sources said, and added that the party’s high-command was expected to announce the decision in a few days from now.
