Former premier Nawaz Sharif's PML-N party has decided in principle to part ways with the Pakistan People's Party in the politically crucial province of Punjab, where the two parties have been uneasy partners in a coalition government for nearly three years.
The PML-N, which is the main opposition party at the centre, is expected to announce its decision to part with the PPP in Punjab and to expel PPP ministers from the provincial government on February 25, when a deadline set by Sharif to implement a 10-point reforms agenda will expire.
The PML-N is expected to form a new alliance in Punjab, the country's most populous province, with the group of 47 dissident PML-Q lawmakers that was recently given legitimate status by the Speaker of the provincial assembly by allocating them separate seats in the House.
The PML-N has reportedly assured the dissidents that they will be given four ministries.
