Pakistan People's Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari announced that PML-N's Shahbaz Sharif will soon become the new prime minister of the country.

Speaking during a press conference in Islamabad along with PML-N President Shahbaz Sharif, JUI-F Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, BAP leader Khalid Magsi, BNP-M's Akhtar Mengal, and others, Zardari also thanked PTI coalition partner Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) over their decision to support the opposition's no-confidence motion against the prime minister.

Speaking on the occasion Shahbaz said that the BAP has decided to join the opposition in its move to oust the prime minister in the wider interest of the country.

He further said that the new government will fulfill its commitment according to the expectations of the people of Balochistan.

"We want the country to be handled in anew and the issues to be resolved," the BAP leader, whose party has four MNAs, said while addressing the press conference.

BNP-M chief Akhtar Mengal said the incumbent government has ignored Balochistan and did not pay attention to the province's issues.

"Instead of paying attention to our issues, they made fun of us," he said.
