Pakistan’s major family-controlled political parties, the Sharif and Bhutto clans, are moving towards forming a coalition government, potentially sidelining Imran Khan’s group despite its significant gains in the recent contentious election. Shehbaz Sharif announced their agreement in principle to address the country’s political instability. This development follows an election where Khan’s supporters, running as independents, demonstrated strong public support, indicating potential for further protests and unrest.
