Prominent leaders from both parties, including Maryam Nawaz, Senator Ishaq Dar, Ahsan Iqbal, and others from PML-N, along with representatives from JUI-F, attended the discussions.
Key topics during the meeting included a detailed analysis of the political landscape and strategies leading up to the upcoming general elections.
The leaders emphasized the need for unity and collaboration to navigate the complex political terrain.
A significant aspect of the discussions was the seat adjustment formula.
Both parties engaged in negotiations to determine how constituencies would be distributed effectively, a crucial factor in their electoral collaboration.
The leaders discussed the current political landscape of the country, strategising for the upcoming elections. They deliberated upon the seat adjustment formula between JUI-F and PML-N.
Saad Rafiq briefed the participants on the status of political negotiations with the MQM in Sindh.
They reached a consensus on MQM’s proposed nationwide local government system, agreeing to support a constitutional amendment for its implementation in the next parliament.
The two parties decided to form an electoral alliance with the MQM and like-minded groups. In Sindh, the three parties will collaborate on seat adjustments, entrusting the decision of candidates to provincial leader Bashir Memon, and the nominated leaders of MQM.
For Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the PML-N and JUI-F agreed on full seat adjustments, aiming to present a unified front. If consensus eludes the two parties, a common strategy would be adopted, with one party nominating a candidate for the national seat and the other for the provincial seat.
