PML-N Information Secretary Marriyum Aurangzeb says the MQM-P delegation, led by convener Dr Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui, will visit the Sharifs at their Raiwind residence at 11:30am.

Earlier this week, former premier Nawaz Sharif had invited political parties, except for the PTI, to come together and form a coalition government, claiming that the PML-N had emerged as the “single-largest party” during the elections.

A day earlier, Aura­ngzeb told a private news channel that Shehbaz Sharif and Asif Zardari held initial consultations, but both would consult their parties regarding the formation of a coalition government.

In a social media post earlier in the day, she said the MQM-P delegation would meet Nawaz Sharif and other PML-N leaders.

On the other hand, the PTI, JI, JUI-F and other parties have announced countrywide protests today against alleged rigging in the election results.
