Pakistan's top leaders discuss power-sharing formula
Among numerous issues, the meetings between Pakistan Muslim League (N) and Pakistan People's Party (PPP) bigwigs in the United Arab Emirates have reportedly resulted in a consensus on the names for the caretaker set-up and a power-sharing formula if the two parties win the up coming next election.
Pakistan Muslim League (N) supremo Nawaz Sharif and PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari, along with many other top leaders, held multiple meetings to decide the next general election's date, reports Pakistan media Dawn.
The meetings were attended by Pakistan Premier Shehbaz Sharif, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, PML-N senior vice president Maryam Nawaz Sharif, and Law Minister Azam Nazeer Tarar.
The return of Nawaz Sharif was also discussed since the parliament reversed his lifetime disqualification ruling and if all is settled regarding 'relief in his convictions', he might return to Pakistan on 14 August.
However, it is yet to be decided whether Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will be allowed to contest elections to legitimise the process or kept out of the ring altogether.
