ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) gives a blow to the Pakistan People's Party over the Presidential election.
PML N on Sunday categorically stated that Mr Ahsan could not be considered a joint opposition candidate because the PPP had not consulted any of the parties sitting on the opposition benches before making the decision.
The PML-N is also angry because the PPP refused to vote for Shahbaz Sharif in the Aug 17 election for the office of prime minister only because of his controversial statements against the PPP leadership in the past, whereas the PPP has now nominated a person who had also made some nasty remarks about the illness of Nawaz Sharif and his wife Kulsoom Nawaz in recent past.
“How can you expect us to vote for the nominee of Asif Ali Zardari after refusal of the PPP to vote for our president (Shahbaz Sharif) in the National Assembly and our candidate (Hamza Shahbaz for the office of chief minister) in the Punjab Assembly,” said PML-N information secretary and Senator Mushahidullah Khan, when contacted to seek his party’s viewpoint on the PPP’s move.
