PPP chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has revealed that he was offered to lead the next possible coalition government as the prime minister for two years. However, he declined the offer as his party only wants to ensure democracy and the survival of the federation. Talking with reference to these negotiations, Bilawal said the PPP does not want federal ministries in return for supporting the PML-N’s candidate for the position of the prime minister, Shehbaz Sharif. This is why we have decided that [PPP Co-chairman] Asif Ali Zardari will be the party’s candidate for president," he added. Bilawal said his party is being accused of perpetrating violence during the polling but these claims run contrary to fact.
