On Tuesday, Pakistan's major political parties, excluding the imprisoned former Prime Minister Imran Khan's party, revealed their intention to forge a coalition government under the leadership of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), putting an end to speculation surrounding the country's political landscape.
While the announcement didn't explicitly name the next prime minister, PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif indicated that he would propose his elder brother, Nawaz Sharif, the 74-year-old party chief, for a historic fourth term in office.
With Shehbaz Sharif, 72, likely to assume a role akin to his previous stint as head of government following Imran Khan's ousting in April 2022.
The Shehbaz Sharif-led government in Pakistan has decided to ban the jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, the country's Information Minister announced on Monday. The PTI is Pakistan's largest opposition party. Attaullah Tarar, the Pakistani Minister for Information and Broadcasting, announced in a press conference that the decision to ban the PTI was made due to alleged anti-state activities. The case will be referred to the Supreme Court, according to Pakistani media.

The assault, reportedly led by several suicide bombers, resulted in a prolonged gunbattle with security forces. The militant group Jaish Fursan-e-Muhammad, a faction of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) led by Hafiz Gul Bahadur, claimed responsibility for the attack. According to Pakistani state media, the incident began when the assailants attempted to breach the cantonment’s security perimeter with an explosive-laden vehicle.
