Nawaz will actively participate in politics & will lead govts: Maryam
MWM failed to submit the list of reserved seats for women under Section 104 of the Election Act.
Lahore: Senior Vice President and Chief Organizer of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Maryam Nawaz has asserted that refusing a ministerial position does not mean that Nawaz Sharif is withdrawing from politics. She stated that if this perception is being formed, it holds no truth. She affirmed that in the next five years, they will not only actively participate in politics but will also lead their governments in the federal and Punjab regions, by the grace of Allah.
In a message posted on the social networking site, Twitter, Maryam Nawaz emphasized that in all three terms of Nawaz Sharif’s governments, the public had given a clear majority, as evidenced by electoral verdicts. She clarified that they would not be part of any coalition government. Those who understand Nawaz Sharif’s temperament are aware of his principled stance.
She added that both Shehbaz Sharif and herself are Nawaz Sharif’s soldiers, obedient to his orders, and will work under his leadership and supervision. She concluded with a prayer for success, saying, “May Allah grant us success. Amen.”
Will PTI get reserved seats in NA?
ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) cannot get reserved seats in National Assembly (NA) despite alliance with other political parties including Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM).
Sources within the ECP said that the MWM failed to submit the list of reserved seats for women under Section 104 of the Election Act, and the submission deadline has already passed.
Furthermore, it was revealed that political parties are allowed to submit the list of reserved seats until the deadline for the submission of nomination papers.
However, once the deadline passes, neither the submission nor the alteration of the reserved seats list is allowed, sources added.
Yesterday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) announced to form alliance with Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) in the centre and Punjab.
PTI Spokesman Raoof Hasan in a presser said that the party founder directed to form alliance with the MWM in the centre and Punjab. “The PTI founder has also approved a proposal to join hands with Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” he added.
