PML-N nominates Shehbaz Sharif, For PM Post
Pakistan, former PM Shehbaz Sharif has been nominated as the official prime ministerial candidate of the Pakistan Muslim-League-Nawaz. This comes after speculations were rife that PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz’s brother would hold the top job and the country found itself with a hung parliament with no party claiming majority .
Independent candidates backed by jailed former premier Imran Khan managed to win 92 seats in the recently-concluded election, making them the largest group. But since they are running as individuals and not a party, they will not be able to form a government on their own and have ruled out alliances with PML-N and PPP.
PML-N spokesperson announce that Nawaz’s daughter and party’s senior vice president Maryam Nawaz has also been nominated for the post of Punjab Chief Minister.
“Nawaz Sharif has thanked the political parties which provided support to the PML-N (in forming the upcoming government) and expressed hope that through such decisions Pakistan will come out of crises,” she said.
