Top Pakistani political figures, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Senior Vice President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Maryam Nawaz have touched down in Dubai.
The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the PML-N gear up for another round of strategic meetings in the United Arab Emirates.
PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari were among the first to arrive at Dubai’s Al-Maktoum airport on Friday evening, travelling via private jet from Karachi.
The Future of Political Leadership in Pakistan
The central topic of these anticipated meetings between the PML-N and PPP leadership is the appointment of the caretaker Prime Minister. This discussion becomes pertinent as the government prepares to dissolve the National Assembly at the start of August.
Chief of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), Maulana Fazlur Rehman, will also play a crucial role in discussions concerning the future political arrangement in Pakistan.
However, it’s not all smooth sailing. Last month’s Dubai meetings elicited discontent from the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl, which felt left out of the conversations.
To address these concerns, Nawaz is expected to meet with Maulana Fazl, who will visit Dubai next week before heading to London.
The political landscape in Pakistan became more animated as Pir Pagara Sibghatullah Rashdi, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Functional (PML-F), hosted a dinner for Maulana Fazl and his associates in Karachi last Friday. The dinner discussion revolved around potential political alliances and strategies for the upcoming elections.
The unfolding political situation in Pakistan offers an intriguing panorama. Observers watch how these international consultations and internal dialogues will shape the country’s political future.
