ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice-president Maryam Nawaz said on Monday that party president Shehbaz Sharif will be PML-N’s candidate for the post of prime minister if the no-trust vote succeeds against PM Imran Khan, ARY News reported.
She said this while responding to a question during a media talk outside the Islamabad High Court (IHC).
The PML-N vice-president said that joint opposition will sit and decide on the appointment of the next candidate for prime minister but Shehbaz Sharif would be the PML-N candidate for the PM slot.
“Only God knows who will be elected as the new prime minister but for PML-N it will be Shehbaz Sharif,” she added.
The PML-N leader also criticised the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) while taking aim at PM Imran Khan. “Imran Khan! Your game is over,” she said, adding that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had officially “broken up”.
