Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) will receive the support of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in forming the next government in Gilgit-Baltistan.
In an important political development, the prime minister said PPP has emerged as the largest party in the Gilgit-Baltistan elections and therefore has the democratic right to form the government. He formally invited the party to take the lead in establishing the new administration in the region.
Shehbaz Sharif stated that PML-N has decided not to seek power in Gilgit-Baltistan despite securing representation in the assembly. Instead, the party will sit in the opposition and support the democratic process.
The prime minister said all elected PML-N members in the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly would vote in favor of PPP during the government formation process. He added that the decision reflects the party’s commitment to democratic traditions, political stability and respect for the public mandate.
According to Shehbaz Sharif, political parties should respect election results and work together for the development and prosperity of the people. He said the decision was taken after careful consideration and in the larger interest of democracy.
The prime minister emphasized that PML-N has always maintained strong and respectful relations with its coalition partners. He said the party believes in political cooperation rather than confrontation and has consistently honored commitments made to its allies.
He further stated that mutual trust, respect and democratic values are essential for strengthening Pakistan’s political system. He expressed hope that the new government in Gilgit-Baltistan would focus on public welfare, economic development and addressing the challenges facing the region.
The announcement is being viewed as a significant gesture of political cooperation between two major coalition partners at the federal level. Analysts believe the move could further strengthen ties between PML-N and PPP while ensuring a smooth government formation process in Gilgit-Baltistan.
With PML-N extending its support, PPP is now expected to move forward with efforts to form the next regional government and secure a majority in the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly.
