Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Sher Afzal Marwat has claimed that former president Asif Ali Zardari had approached him for a coalition to form government. \u201cTill 11:00pm last night, Asif Zardari had been contacting me through other people. I was discussing these contacts with the available leadership such as Aleema Khan, Sheharyar Afridi, and Shandana Gulzar,\u201d he said during a media talk on Wednesday. According to Marwat, the Pakistan Peoples\u2019 Party (PPP) leader had told the PTI leadership that it will priorities making a coalition with the PTI instead of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). \u201cImran 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\u2019s meeting,\u201d the PTI leader said. The PTI has announced a coalition with the Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) for forming government in centre and Punjab, along with the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government. However, JI earlier today refused to shake hands with the PTI for KP government accusing the latter of changing stance regarding the agreement. Meanwhile, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that the party will support PML-N in government formation in centre, however, he refused to become part of the Federal Cabinet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
