Not Nawaz Sharif, but Bilawal to become next PM, predicts Manzoor Wasan

KHAIRPUR: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Manzoor Wasan, famous for his ‘political dreams’, on Friday, predicted PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif will not become prime minister in 2024, ARY News reported.

No matter who supports Nawaz Sharif, we will not let him become PM again, Manzoor Wasan said while talking to the media after submitting his nomination papers from Sindh Assembly’s PS-27 constituency.

“Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will be next prime minister.” The former minister said those who are sure of winning the upcoming general election will not ‘get anything.’

Without taking the PTI founder’s name, Wasan said, everyone should be allowed to contest elections.
