LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has instructed its Members of the Punjab Assembly (MPAs) to stay in Lahore until a new chief minister is elected as opposition and treasury eye the top slot of chief minister after the resignation of Usman Buzdar.
“The new chief minister will be elected with the consultation of members of the joint opposition and PML-N lawmakers,” they said and added that consultations will also be made with Aleem Khan and Jahangir Tareen groups.
