Former interior minister Rana Sanaullah, a prominent figure in the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), has made an announcement regarding the party’s leadership.
He stated that Nawaz Sharif, who was previously disqualified and removed from the presidency of the PML-N under dubious circumstances, will once again assume the position of party president.
The former minister emphasized that all obstacles hindering Nawaz Sharif's return to leadership have been cleared, and he is now poised to lead the party forward.
The PML-N leader stated that he personally urged Nawaz Sharif to resume his role as the party president. Under the leadership of Maryam Nawaz, he asserted, the party is providing relief in Punjab and will continue its legacy of developmental initiatives for the country.
Earlier, during an organizational meeting at the Model Town Secretariat, the PML-N Punjab unanimously passed a resolution advocating for Nawaz Sharif to resume his role as the party president.
The resolution highlighted Sharif's disqualification in 2017, which was deemed a conspiracy to forcibly remove him from the leadership position.
