Nawaz Sharif's government can be formed in Pakistan. Pakistan People's Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto has announced outside support to Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's prime ministerial candidate.

He made it clear that his party will not be part of the coalition government and will sit in the opposition. Bilawal Bhutto said during the press conference that the People's Party does not have the mandate to form the government, so he is not a candidate for the post of Prime Minister.

He said that his party will vote on the basis of issues on important occasions for Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz. Bilawal Bhutto said that the Muslim League Nawaz did not have a majority, while the PTI said that it would not compromise with the People's Party.

Bilawal said that he will try to form the government and not have to hold elections again in Pakistan. Imran Khan has sent a message to the country through his family from jail that his party PTI will not compromise with anyone.
