Hafiz Hamdullah emphasized, “Today, we agreed on one point that the elections were not transparent. We will decide further course of action accordingly.” Despite their historical rivalry, the parties seem to have found common ground on the issue of alleged electoral malpractice.
Earlier statements from PTI’s founder, made during an informal media interaction in Adiala Jail, where he is detained in connection with various legal cases, reiterated the party’s reluctance to engage with PML-N, PPP, and MQM-P regarding government formation. Instead, he directed party leaders to initiate discussions with other political entities.
