LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Saturday announced names of its candidates for National Assembly and provincial assembly seats from Punjab. According to the list, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz will contest the polls from NA-132 and NA-125 respectively. Hamza Shehbaz, son of PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif, will contest the polls from NA-124. Former minister Khawaja Saad Rafique will face PTI Chairman Imran Khan in NA-131.The party has fielded Ahsan Iqbal from NA-78, Khawaja Asif from NA-73, Rana Sanaullah from NA-106 and Abid Sher Ali from NA-108. The PML-N has fielded Ayaz Sadiq against PTI’s Ejaz Chaudhry in NA-133 Lahore. The PML-N has reportedly decided not to field a candidate against former interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan in the forthcoming elections. The party made the decision in order to keep its doors open for the former interior minister. However, Nawaz Sharif will give final approval in this regard. The suggestion to keep party’s doors open for Ch Nisar was reportedly given by PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif and other senior leaders. On the other hand, Ch Nisar has also decided not to directly criticise the PML-N leadership. The former interior minister will be contesting the polls from two constituencies each of the National Assembly (NA-59, NA-63) and the provincial assembly.
