      <title>PPP, JUI-F agree to contest Senate elections from a joint platform</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330424381/ppp-jui-f-agree-to-contest-senate-elections-from-a-joint-platform</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) have agreed to contest the upcoming Senate elections from a unified platform, sources confirmed on Monday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to party insiders, delegations from both parties met in Islamabad and reached consensus on a joint electoral strategy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The two parties have also decided to initiate contacts with other opposition groups to build a broader political alliance for the Senate polls.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The move signals a shift towards greater coordination among opposition forces, amid ongoing political realignments ahead of the upper house elections.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The agreement follows recent remarks by JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, who said that while his party maintains political differences with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), it prefers to manage disagreements with moderation rather than hostility.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PPP and JUI-F had reportedly made initial contact a day earlier, laying the groundwork for Monday’s formal meeting.&lt;/p&gt;
