Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Raja Riaz said on Tuesday that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif will become premier for the fourth time.

Speaking to Samaa TV in Faisalabad, Riaz said, “The elections will happen in the country on February 8. He went on to say that every political party will be given a level playing field, with the exception of "terrorists”.

‘’The reason Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari is criticising his opponents is because of the elections. There may be further exchange of words between the political parties as the elections are around the corner,” the former opposition leader added.

“However, everyone will be united after the general elections,” averred Riaz.

– Tarar says talks with PPP still possible –

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Attaullah Tarar said on Tuesday that his party can still negotiate with the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).

Speaking to the media in Islamabad, Tarar said, ‘’There are not a lot of differences with the PPP that the talks with it are not possible. He made it clear the PML-N’s ‘vote ko izzat’ do narrative was over in April 2022.

Tarar made it clear that former prime minister Shahid Khaqan was having too many differences with the PML-N, which could lead him to leave the party and form a new one.

He asserted, ‘’Every political party in the elections will get a level playing field’’.

Tarar took a swipe at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), saying, ‘’The corruption, Al Qadir Trust case, and May 9 vandalism under the guise of the level playing field are not tolerable’’.
