Shehbaz Sharif elected PML-N president; no position for Abbasi

LAHORE: All the central office-bearers of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), including its President Shehbaz Sharif, have been “re-elected” for another four-year term without having any contest.

The intra-party elections at the federal level were held at the Central Secretariat of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in Chak Shehzad.

Besides Shehbaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz has been elected unopposed as the PML-N chief organiser, Ahsan Iqbal as secretary general, Ataullah Tarar as Deputy Secretary and Ishaq Dar as Secretary Finance.

However, senior party leader and former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was not given any position in the party.

In another development on FRiday, PML-N decided to activate its minority wing and a six-member team was constituted by Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz.

Former Member of the Provincial Assembly (MPA) in Punjab Raheela Khadim Hussain has been appointed as coordinator of the Punjab Minority Committee. The members include Ramesh Singh Arora, Kamran Bhatti, Babu Leela Ram and Robina Feroz.

The committee was tasked to complete organisational structure of the minority wing in three weeks.
