“The PML-N will only consider Ahsan for the post of president if he visits Adiala Jail and apologises to Nawaz Sharif,” the former information minister said while speaking to the media outside Adiala jail on Friday.
Rashid did not, however, mention why Ahsan should apologise to Nawaz.
“We are consulting allied parties over fielding a candidate for the presidential election,” he added.
“The PML-N has not yet made a final decision regarding its presidential candidate,” the former minister added.
Last week, the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) nominated Ahsan as its presidential candidate. However, PML-N stated that Ahsan could not be considered a joint opposition candidate.
It may be motioned that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has nominated Arif Alvi for the presidency, the election for which is scheduled on September 4.
