*ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chief Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has refused to vote for Shahbaz Sharif for the slot of Prime Minister.*
*He on Wednesday said that his party has asked the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to change its nominee for premiership.*
The PPP chief and newly elected MNA was speaking to media in the federal capital when one of the reporters asked if his party’s parliamentarians will vote for PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif during the election of PM.
“We will urge PML-N to change its PM nominee,” answered Bilawal.
An opposition alliance comprising PPP, PML-N, ANP, MMA and other parties on August 7 jointly nominated Shehbaz Sharif as their candidate for premiership.
The opposition alliance named “alliance for free and fair elections” had earlier decided to support a PML-N candidate for PM, a PPP nominee for speaker and MMA one for deputy speaker slot.
