Political Chaos: Shehbaz Sharif To Be The Next PM
Introduction of Shehbaz Sharif
It’s been two weeks after the elections and we are still unaware of the results. While the masses wait for the mighty election results, it’s heartbreaking to see some of the latest developments. From rigging to the mismanagement of form 45s- we have seen it all. Here are a few things that have happened in the last week and these are very important.
The Emergence Of PDM 2.0
We have seen PDM before as well and now it seems like we are witnessing the re-emergence of it.
Shehbaz Sharif was earlier seen taking over the prime minister’s house. Shehbaz Sharif is not a new face in the history of politics, he was earlier the chief minister CM of Punjab as well. In Shehbaz Sharif’s reign, we saw many things. In the past 18 months, Shahbaz Sharif was seen taking over the prime minister’s house where we saw the country in the doldrums. Shehbaz Sharif was seen as not being able to take over office responsibly. He was unable to manage the unemployment ratio in the country. Furthermore, Shehbaz Sharif was also seen as not being able to handle the inflation and the overall economy of the country. PDM emerged as an alliance to reassure people have their rights and to restore sustainable growth, but in actuality, Shehbaz Sharif-led PDM was unable to do that. Thus, failing to do any of that.
Shehbaz Sharif As The New Prime Minister
After multiple rounds of talks over one week, a consensus was reached between PML-N, and PPP to share their power to form the next government, claiming a comfortable majority in the lower house of the parliament to clinch the prime minister’s slot.
In a joint press conference at the Zardari House in the federal capital at midnight, there were many new developments. PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto said that both PML-N and PPP have sufficient funds to form a federal government.
In the recent developments and press conference, the new prime minister was also unveiled. Shehbaz Sharif was said to take over the prime minister’s office once again. It must be noted that Shehbaz Sharif was earlier on the prime minister for almost 18 months.
Similarly, PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari will be a joint candidate for the president’s office. About other coveted offices, such as the National Assembly speaker and the senate chairman, the PPP chief said decisions in this regard had been made but their announcement would be made at a later stage.
The press conference was held after the PPP chief rushed to the residence of the PML-N leader Ishaq Dar where Shehbaz Sharif was already present. After the thirty-minute huddle, they departed for the Zardari House from where they disclosed the details. Furthermore, this deal was announced in front of the media.
Road To Punjab Government
Though the press conference didn’t mention anything about the Punjab government, speculations continue to make rounds. The PPP is interested in the ministries in the provincial cabinet, which had become a sticking point in the talks.
Conclusion
Shehbaz Sharif is once again at the centre of politics, notwithstanding the uncertainty surrounding the election results. Recent developments have illuminated the evolving political environment. Though there is excitement about the upcoming creation of the new government, questions remain about the effectiveness of the previous administration and its possible effects on the future of the country.
Shehbaz Sharif’s leadership of PDM 2.0 is resurrecting an important chapter in Pakistan’s political history. However, he faced difficulties during his prior term as Punjab’s chief minister and his following stay in the prime minister’s office, which included problems with governance and economic instability. Many became discouraged about the possibility of significant change as the Shehbaz Sharif-led alliance failed to fulfil its promises of reform and advancement.
The declaration of Shehbaz Sharif as the future prime minister, made in conjunction with the PPP, marks the beginning of a new phase in Pakistan’s political history amid ongoing talks and behind-the-scenes discussions. Shehbaz Sharif and PPP want to steer the country towards stability and prosperity by pledging to present a united front and a shared vision for government. But there are doubts about their capacity to deal with the complex issues the country faces, especially in the areas of social development and economic revival.
There is much conjecture about the allocation of cabinet portfolios and the complexities of power-sharing agreements as the path to the Punjab government develops. Although PPP’s ambitions to hold a position in the provincial cabinet highlight the intricacy of coalition politics, the final makeup of the government is still up for debate.
