\"\"The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P) has finally decided to join the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N)-led coalition government at the Centre in a bid to pull the \u201ccountry out of the quagmire,\u201d party\u2019s deputy convener Mustafa Kamal revealed on Sunday.<\/p>\n

As the February 8 general election resulted in no political party securing enough seats to form a majority government at the Centre, key political players have been holding negotiations to chalk out a power-sharing formula for the new coalition government.<\/p>\n

In a breakthrough last week, the PML-N and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) announced striking a power-sharing deal to form a coalition government. Under the deal, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif will be elected as the country\u2019s prime minister while PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari retain the slot of president for the next five years.<\/p>\n

Speaking to a private TV channel, Kamal said the ideal situation is not to become part of the coalition government to be led by PML-N\u2019s Shehbaz.<\/p>\n

However, the former Karachi mayor said the decision to join the government had been taken to steer the country out of the crisis. \u201cThe negotiation with the PML-N is underway in the right direction,\u201d he said, adding that the MQM-P wanted to take responsibility for serving their electorate.<\/p>\n

He also rejected the reports of deadlock with the PML-N during negotiations on a power-sharing formula at the Centre. Kamal also said that in the first phase, newly-elected lawmakers would take oath and the decision regarding ministries would be taken in a second phase.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will not confirm about [how many ministries] we are demanding,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have decided that [MQM-P] will become a part of the government and will also take the ministries.\u201d Kamal said the MQM-P would present its draft for constitutional amendment and they wanted the PML-N to support it. \u201cWe have accepted a challenge to become part of the government.\u201d<\/p>\n
