PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that his party has not had any official conversation with PML-N, the PTI or any other political parties on a possible coalition.

Speaking to Geo News today, the former foreign minister accepted that his party would not be able to form a government by itself.

When asked if he or his father Asif Zardari had any meeting with PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, Bilawal said: “I am in no position to confirm any such meeting. When all the results are in front of us, we will be in a position to engage with others.”

Bilawal also made it clear that no independent candidate from the PTI bloc had contacted him or any PPP leader so far.

“We are in touch with some independents but no independent from the PTI bloc has contacted us so far,” he said.
