PML-N withdraws from coalition, to sit on opposition benches

August 25, 2008

LAHORE, Aug 25: The Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif addressed a press conference in Lahore announcing the PML-N had decided to part ways with the coalition with Pakistan Peoples Party, a local television channel reported.

He said the PML-N was forced to withdraw from the coalition and sit on the opposition benches because the major partner in the coalition, the PPP, had not honoured any of the promises that it had made to the PML-N.
