Saturday the PTI sounded confident about the next session of the assembly in mid August declaring that they have the support to form a government. Will the coalition be able to effectively carry out the new prime minister's agenda. In opposition before this election Khan was a strong critic of Nawaz Sharif and his handling of Chinese investment.
However he has since said that he is not the kind of calling. What does this election to the US questioned the process of the election and they did not contain the result.

To discuss these issues and more today I am very happy to be joined in the interview by young vice president and senior research fellow with the China Institute of International Studies and zoon Mohammad Khan Research Fellow at school university. That's our topic.
This is a dialogue I'm Jalo Ray Mouzon.
What comes to dialogue. My first question is very much about domestic politics of Pakistan. Of course we're talking about the results of the campaign now. Clearly the newly elected Prime Minister failed to form a clear majority a coalition government means automatically that he will not make the fact that this is complete dead who will rely on power alone. So what do you think about the future.
Well I would actually like to say that having a coalition government and especially having the coalition government in three provinces can be a very interesting and a positive situation for Pakistan. The reason why I say that is for example in Balochistan the BJP whose leader is that Mengo has been a lot nationalist and given the fact that he's willing to form a coalition with the federal government means that someone who was initially a Baluch nationalist wanted to be directly affiliated with the central government. This kind of situation leads to perhaps a little bit of compromise a little bit of give and take but if we didn't thought.
