PPP will not contact PTI-backed independent candidates, says Khursheed Shah
PPP leader Khursheed Shah stated that the party will not engage with PTI-supported independent candidates to increase National Assembly strength, preferring to only contact independent candidates. He emphasized respecting the people's mandate after the 2024 elections, discouraging political parties from including PTI-backed independents. Shah also questioned Nawaz Sharif's eligibility for a fourth premiership and invited parties for talks following the split mandate. On Monday, five independents joined PML-N.
