LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) unanimously nominated Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif as the acting president of the party on Saturday.

According to details, the party’s Central Working Committee (CWC) appointed Shehbaz Sharif as acting president until the party elections. An election commission had been set up to organize the PML-N’s presidential election on May 28.

Party’s senior leader Rana Sanaullah had been appointed as the chief election commissioner for the appointment of the party’s president.

Former three-time prime minister Sharif is likely to be elected as the interim party president years after he was deprived of the position through a Supreme Court decision in the Panama Papers case.

After he was dethroned, his younger brother Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was elected as the PML-N president in March 2018. Nawaz has since then served as PML-N supremo – an office created to accommodate the party founder.

However, Shehbaz Sharif tendered his resignation from the party’s top position last week, as Nawaz Sharif is set to take the reins of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz’s (PML-N) president post.
