"Pakistan's Coalition Government: Shehbaz Sharif Nominated as PM, Leaving Imran Khan's Party Out of Power"
TL;DR
Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has nominated his brother Shehbaz Sharif as the next Prime Ministerial candidate to lead a new coalition alliance formed after national elections resulted in a hung parliament. The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) have sufficient seats to secure a simple majority, with the PPP announcing its decision to back Sharif's party in establishing a minority government. This alliance has quelled concerns regarding government formation, following inconclusive elections and raised fears of renewed instability.
