The PPP and PML-N coalition partners have been struggling to reconcile their differences amid strained ties, with coordination committees meeting recently to address outstanding issues. The PML-N-led government currently holds a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly, with the PPP providing crucial support.

Despite the heated debate, both sides acknowledged the necessity of working together and agreed to implement previous decisions, hold regular meetings, and maintain a consultation process to improve governance and address coalition-related matters.
