Author: News Desk

Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif is all set to begin his campaign in the city for the National Assembly seat he is contesting the upcoming election from.

The PML-N president will arrive in Karachi on Monday on a two day visit to launch his party’s campaign for the upcoming general elections. He is scheduled to land in the metropolis on Monday morning. During his two-day visit, he will meet party leaders and address public meetings. He will also hold meetings with businessmen. Shehbaz will visit NA-249 Lyari constituency from where he is contesting the July 25 polls to formally begin his campaign. He will also visit NA-244 constituency where the PML-N has fielded former finance minister Miftah Ismail to address party workers.

Out of 61 NA seats in Sindh, the PML-N has fielded candidates in 31 constituencies. Shehbaz has already filed his nomination papers for NA-249 in Karachi.

No candidate has been fielded against Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in NA-200 Larkana. PML-N Senator Saleem Zia, however, will face off Bilawal in Karachi’s NA-246, according to a list of the candidates. PML-N’s GM Shah will contest the polls against PPP co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari in NA-213 Nawabshah and Sheikh Muhammad Shah against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan.
