Independent MPA-elect Rana Liaqat joins PML-N

Author: inp

Independent MPA-elect Rana Liaqat joined the Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) on Monday.

Liaqat, who had won election from PP-39, expressed full faith in PML-N’s leadership during a meeting held earlier in the day.

Senior party leader and former foreign minister Khawaja Asif was also present at the meeting. The candidate is a former PML-N member.

The decision comes at a critical time, as PML-N looks to form the government in Punjab – once the party’s stronghold.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has threatened PML-N’s decade-old rule in Punjab. With the difference of just six seats, both parties have actively pursued independent candidates and other political parties to form government in the country’s largest province.
