‘Limited parties’ in coalition could be beneficial: Khurshid Shah

The seasoned politician Khurshid Shah emphasized that having a ‘limited number’ of political parties in the coalition government would be beneficial for decision-making and policy implementation, ARY News reported on Friday.

In his recent interview, Khurshid Shah expressed his belief that a coalition formed by two major parties collaborating in decision-making processes would yield optimal results for the government.

Drawing a comparison, Shah cautioned against the potential challenges that may arise with a coalition consisting of six or more parties, pointing out that such a scenario could result in a situation reminiscent of the complexities faced by the previous government, specifically referring to the difficulties associated with the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).

Highlighting his stance, Shah made it clear that he does not advocate for aligning with political entities similar to the previous PDM government.
