In another development, the Pakistan People\u2019s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto ruled out the possibility of becoming part of any coalition government<\/a>, saying that his party will vote for the prime minister candidate of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) but sit in opposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PPP has decided that we are unable or not in a position to join federal government ourselves, nor are we interested in taking ministries in such a setup,\u201d the party chairman said while addressing a press conference following a two-day-long Central Executive Committee (CEC) meeting.<\/p>\n

Bilawal Bhutto acknowledged that the reality was that his party did not have a mandate to form a government in the Centre. \u201cDue to this, I will not be putting myself forward for the candidacy of the prime minister of Pakistan,\u201d he said, noting that PML-N and the independents have greater numbers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
