Deposed This month, the daughter of Nawaz Sharif, the prime minister of Pakistan and leader of the PML-N, will accompany them back to their native country to oversee the Punjab election campaign.
According to reports in the local media, Maryam Nawaz and Nawaz, who is currently living in self-imposed exile in Britain, are planning to return. Recently, Nawaz held a telephone conversation with his younger brother Shehbaz Sharif, the current Prime Minister, and other party leaders to plan a strategy amid political unrest in Punjab.
While Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi earlier this week signed the brief to dissolve the provincial legislature following a political tug-of-war, Sharif, 73, also instructed the premier to ask Punjab Governor Baligh-ur Rehman to handle political concerns in the nation’s most populous area.
As PML-N officials stated determination to win the provincial elections, Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz planned to take part in the election campaign with large-scale drives.
Recently, confidant of the Sharif family and interior minister Rana Sanaullah made bold claims to destroy Imran Khan’s party in the area, claiming that his party was ready for elections in 90 days.
The National Assembly, Sindh, and Balochistan assemblies, he noted, will, however, finish their tenure in August 2023.
All members of the ruling alliance, according to Sanaullah, were against the idea of dissolving assemblies, which he called a “undemocratic act” by PTI.
