In today’s DNA, Zee News analyzes the agreement between PPP’s Bilawal Bhutto and PML-N’s Shehbaz Sharif to form a coalition government in Pakistan, ending 12 days of political uncertainty after the general elections.

According to the deal, Nawaz Sharif’s younger brother Shehbaz Sharif will be the Prime Minister for the first three years, while Bilawal will be the Deputy Prime Minister. In the last two years, Bilawal will hold the post of Prime Minister, while Shahbaz will become the Deputy Prime Minister. Zardari will remain president for a full five-year term.

The coalition partners have also decided to share key ministries among themselves, with the PML-N getting the finance, foreign affairs, defense and interior departments, while the PPP will get the information, law, energy and railways departments. The alliance will also include Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI), which have won 17 and 4 seats respectively in the National Assembly.

The alliance has a comfortable majority of 150 seats in the 272-member National Assembly, while the main opposition party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led by Imran Khan has only 31 seats. PTI has alleged large-scale rigging in the elections and has refused to accept the results.
