LAHORE, April 4: Leaders of the PPP and the PML-N will be meeting here on Saturday to discuss matters concerning formation of a coalition in Punjab.

It is said that Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmad Mukhtar, Minister for Water and Power Raja Pervaiz Ashraf and PPP’s parliamentary leader for the Punjab Assembly Raja Riaz will meet PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif.

The formula for representation in the cabinet adopted for the Centre would be replicated in Punjab. This means that being the senior coalition partner, the PML-N will get as many cabinet slots as the PPP got at the Centre.
