ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) today said that it is in a position to form government after huge victory of PTI-backed Independents in the elections and ruled out forging an alliance with Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).

Barrister Gohar while talking to a local TV channel said "We are not in contact with PPP or PML-N." 

He claimed that PTI is winning 150 National Assembly seats and would be able to achieve the required number of seats to form government at the Centre. “We are not intending to form a coalition government with PPP and PML-N, Barrister Gohar Ali Khan.

“We will form the government at the Centre and Punjab,” he added. He said the PTI has a clear lead in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and will form government there as well.

“PTI will remain in Parliament and will play its role.” He said independent candidates belong to PTI and asserted they would not join any party against party directives amid fears of horse trading.

His statement comes shortly after PML-N senior leader Ishaq Dar claimed that independent candidates, who are emerging victorious in the 2024 general elections, are in contact with the party.
