Sher Afzal Khan Marwat – the leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) – has claimed that former president Asif Ali Zardari had approached him for a coalition to form a government.

According to the details, PTI Leader Sher Afzal Khan Marwat made these remarks during a media talk today (Wednesday, February 14). He said that Asif Ali Zardari had been contacting him through other people till 11 pm last night. I was discussing these contacts with the available leadership such as Aleema Khan, Sheharyar Afridi, and Shandana Gulzar, he said.

PTI Leader Sher Afzal Marwat further stated that the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) leader had told the PTI leadership that they would prioritize making a coalition with the PTI instead of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). PTI Founder Imran Khan has clearly said that we will not form a government with those who stole our mandate. However, I will tell him [Khan] about this development in tomorrow’s meeting, Marwat added.

Along with Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa administration, the PTI has announced a partnership with the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) to build governments in the center and Punjab. But earlier today, JI declined to shake hands with the PTI because the KP government was allegedly changing its mind about the arrangement, according to the latter. PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari declined to join the Federal Cabinet but stated that the party would back the PML-N in the formation of a central administration.
