Shares
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is mulling over to appoint Hamza Shahbaz as the joint opposition’s candidate for Chief Minister Punjab.
The decision was mulled over during an online meeting chaired by the party supremo Nawaz Sharif where a majority of the PML-N leaders supported is candidature.
The sources, however, said that the final decision on the candidature of Hamza Shahbaz will be taken after consultation with joint opposition and disgruntled members of the PTI. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has accelerated its efforts and reached out to Ghazanfar Abbas Chheena group, another dissident faction of PTI in Punjab. On the other hand, Pervaiz Elahi, the ruling PTI’s candidate for the chief minister’s slot, is not only trying to get Tareen group by his side, but is also using his clout to ‘poach’ PML-N MPAs.
