PML-N leader Khawaja Saad Rafique has said that no political party has an absolute majority in the Centre in the Feb 8 elections.

In a post on X, he said, “The formation of the federal government is the joint responsibility of all the parties in the parliament, not the PML-N.

“Independent members supported by PTI should take the initiative [and] form a joint central government with the PPP,” he suggested.

“PML N has no desire to decorate this crown of thorns on its head,” Rafique said referring to forming the next government.
