KARACHI – Pakistan Peoples’ Party has decided to support the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz’s candidate for the Prime Minister slot.
Talking to the newsmen after convening Central Executive Committee meeting on Tuesday evening, PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari made it clear that he would not be a candidate for the coveted PM office as his party has not received the mandate.
He said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has already decided not to talk to the PPP. In this scenario, only PML-N was the only party to form the government in centre.

Bilawal said that the PPP would not take ministries but vote for the PM and support the new government on an issue to issue basis. He said that the decision has been taken to avoid chaos as fresh polls would be needed if PPP stayed neutral.
PPP leader stressed the need of working for bringing political stability as continued political unrest would be harmful for the country and the masses. He said that Asif Ali Zardari would be the PPP candidate for the President office.
