ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Tuesday claimed that the political careers of Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari have ended and both the leaders fought their last elections in 2018, Radio Pakistan reported. 

While talking to media, Fawad Chaudhry said, with the across the board accountability going in the country, these corrupt party leaders are now merely seeking a way to digest their looted money but “they would never succeed in their designs.”

Commending Prime Minister Imran Khan for setting a new precedence of self-accountability by reviewing the performance of his cabinet members on an individual level, Fawad said “the progress of 26 ministries was scrutinized in the first phase, while the process will continue to ensure good governance.”
