SUKKUR: Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly Khursheed Shah said on Sunday that the Pakistan People’s Party could not rule out the possibility of seat adjustment or an alliance with Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in the upcoming general elections in 2018.
While speaking to media in Sukkur, Shah said that there is no last word in politics, adding that it will bode well for Pakistani politics if Imran Khan and former president Asif Ali Zardari get along with each other.
The opposition leader, while responding to a question, did not exclude the option of any possible alliance with the PTI, saying that anything can happen in political contests.
Khursheed Shah also expressed optimism regarding PPP leader and Senator Sherry Rehman being elected the Leader of the Opposition in the upper house.
The ruling PML-N lost the race to appoint their favoured candidates to the top Senate slots as Sadiq Sanjrani, an opposition-backed candidate from Balochistan, was appointed Senate chairman earlier in March.
Sanjrani, an independent, had been backed by the PPP, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and a panel of independent MPAs from Balochistan.
