LAHORE: PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday described the February 8 elections as the most important in Pakistan’s history and promised that they would emerge victorious under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif – the party supremo who is eyeing a record fourth term as prime minister.
He listed the achievements of the last Nawaz government, including restoration of peace in Karachi and ending hours-long power outages after winning the 2013 elections.
It was Nawaz who tackled the menace of terrorism, Shehbaz said, adding that people still remembered the development works carried out during that period across Pakistan. Addressing the party’s parliamentary board meeting at his party’s Model Town headquarters, the PML-N President stressed that no development and prosperity without political stability in the country.
The PML-N supremo’s return had revitalised the party workers, supporters and voters, he noted – a move that was demanded by the senior leaders as well as rank and file, especially after the coalition government’s poor performance. On Tuesday, the PML-N parliamentary board interviewed the aspirants for party tickets from Peshawar, Kohat and Dera Ismail Khan divisions to finalise the national and provincial assemblies’ candidates in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
