ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Friday officially listed Punajb Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif as the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president.
On March 13, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) general council had elected Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif the new chairperson of PML-N. The general council’s meeting was scheduled for March 6. However, it had to be postponed for a week as Shehbaz had fallen ill. Shehbaz contested for the seat unopposed. The change came as the Supreme Court, in February, removed former Nawaz Sharif as the PML-N president after he was ousted as the premier in the high-profile Panama Papers case. The apex court’s decision to disqualify Nawaz Sharif as the PML-N chief had invited criticism from the ruling party.
