LAHORE: More members of the House of Sharif are contemplating to step intopolitics as Salman Shahbaz, a son of Shahbaz Sharif, has also expressed hisdesire within the family circles to contest the July 25 polls.
Salman has shown his interest in taking part in the general election fromthe seats (NA-129 and PP-161) his father had won from Lahore in the 2013vote.
A final decision on his plea will, however, be taken by PML-N supremo NawazSharif.
The source says like his father Salman also enjoys a good repute with the‘powers that matter’ and if allowed by the family to come into theelectoral arena may prove a political asset for it.
Salman’s elder brother Hamza is already active in the politics since thewhole family was in exile during the Musharraf era.
Hamza has not only been looking after certain governance affairs asvirtually “deputy chief minister” by sitting at the 90-The Mall offices ofthe CM but also has been acting as strategist for all the by-polls, exceptthe NA-120 (Lahore) where his cousin Maryam Nawaz saw all the matterssingle-handedly, the PML-N contested during the last five years.
