Chairman Pakistan People's Party, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has urged all the stakeholders to develop consensus to save democracy and the parliamentary system. Talking to media outside the Supreme Court of Pakistan, he said the people of Pakistan have given a split mandate to all political parties, therefore, they should sit together for betterment of the country. Bilawal Bhutto said political parties should also demonstrate some flexibility to avoid any possible stalemate. He said the PPP's formula of compromise is aimed at saving and continuing the democratic process in the country.

“If someone else wants to change their stance, there can be progress. If they are not ready to change it, I foresee a stalemate,” Bilawal said, adding that this would not benefit democracy or the parliamentary system. “If I want to give the PML-N a vote, I will have to give it on my terms and not theirs,” he said.“The delay [in forming the government] is because of non-serious,” he said, adding that this harmed Pakistan’s democracy. “The faster this is resolved, it will be better for stability and the incoming government.”
