Following a significant directive from the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), the senior party leadership, except Maryam Nawaz, has been instructed to vacate their respective provincial assembly seats.
The decision, aimed at reshaping the party's strategy and political landscape, signals a major restructuring within the PML-N ranks.
As per sources within the party, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif is slated to vacate his Punjab Assembly seats in Kasur and Lahore, marking a departure from his longstanding presence in Punjab's political arena, as he has been nominated as the prime ministerial nominee in the Centre.
Similarly, his son, Hamza Shehbaz is expected to step down from his provincial seat in Lahore, further consolidating the party's reconfiguration efforts.
Other notable names within the PML-N's senior leadership, such as Sardar Ghulam Abbas from Chakwal, Rana Tanveer from Sheikhupura, PML-N Secretary General Ahsan Iqbal from Narowal, Awais Leghari from Dera Ghazi Khan, and Jam Kamal from Lasbela, have also been directed to vacate their respective provincial seats.
This decision comes as Maryam Nawaz is set to take oath as the chief minister of Punjab, being the first woman to take the office, along with newly elected members of the provinvcial assembly.
The decision underscores PML-N's commitment to adapting its political strategy and rejuvenating its leadership cadre. By vacating these provincial assembly seats, the party aims to create opportunities for fresh faces and new talent to emerge within its ranks, thereby revitalizing its presence in various regions across the country.
