To protest suspected electoral manipulation, the PTI also intends to engage with opposing nationalist groups including Jamaat-e-Islami, Awami National Party, and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl.

To make Pakistan and its people prosperous, we wish to work together on the economic, defense, and other agenda items and to see Mian Sahib and other friends succeed.,” Asif Ali Zardari announced at a joint press of the six-party alliance on Tuesday.
