“It would be difficult for the prime minister to bring them all since some parties have local, regional and national interests,” analyst Hasan Askari.
“If they address economic difficulties, other issues will be resolved; if the situation worsens, everyone will blame the PML-N, which is in power.”
Sharif did not name a foreign minister, but that position is believe to go to Bilawal Zardari Bhutto.
Bhutto of the Pakistan People’s Party is the son of former President Asif Ali Zardari.
