The source also explained why the Democrat Party on Tuesday abruptly cancelled a meeting to decide whether to join a coalition led by the PPRP. "There should not be speculation that the Democrat Party will not join the coalition because everything is under negotiation," Mr Uttama said. He did not confirm whether the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives would be given to the Democrat Party.
