The Pakistan Muslim League-N and the Grand Democratic Alliance have reached an agreement to collaborate and support each other in the upcoming general elections.
This development came during a meeting between PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif and GDA chief Pir Pagara, with PML-N leaders Khawaja Saad Rafique and Ayaz Sadiq also in attendance.
During the meeting, the two sides reached an agreement on a four-party seat adjustment formula.
This four-party alliance, according to sources, comprises the Muttahida Qaumi Movement, Grand Democratic Alliance, Pakistan Muslim League-N and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-F.
The primary objective of this electoral alliance was to challenge the Pakistan People’s Party in its political stronghold of Sindh.
During the meeting, Shehbaz Sharif and Pir Pagara affirmed their commitment to collaboration, pledging to jointly participate in the forthcoming elections and extend mutual support as necessary.
The PML-N president noted that a single party held sway in the province for the past many years.
Interacting with media after the meeting, PML-N leader and GDA leaders announced their consensus on a four-party seat-adjustment formula.
They revealed that the GDA harboured reservations regarding the upcoming elections, and acknowledged the presence of PPP candidates in almost every constituency.
