Now you have to listen to the US and as a new PM you need to visit Biden as your first visit. Everything will be told to you on what you need to do once you arrived in Washington DC.

It's too soon for Pita to say he is ready to be the priminister. His Moving Forwards party gets the biggest number of the seats of representatives but it's not the majority party in this election because Moving Forwards gets only 151 from the total of 500 seats. Of course, since it gets the biggest number of seats, the Moving Forwards party has right to form a new government by cooperating with other parties, to gather 251 seats of representative in order to be the majority faction. So, if Pita succeed in forming the new government, it will absolutely be a coalition government. But, it takes time before reaching at that point. Good luck.!!
