"Coalition Talks and Deadlock: Pakistan's Path to a New Prime Minister"
TL;DR
Pakistan's political deadlock sees PPP leader Bilawal Bhutto Zardari dropping out of the race for prime minister and pledging support for Nawaz Sharif's PML-N, while also ruling out joining the cabinet. This move paves the way for Nawaz Sharif to potentially become prime minister for a record fourth time, following a tumultuous period marked by legal battles and exile. The announcement comes after the February 8 polls resulted in a fractured mandate, with independent candidates winning the most seats in the National Assembly.
