Following the PTI’s unambiguous victory in the by-elections for the Punjab Assembly, Chaudhry Pervez Elahi is now the most likely candidate to succeed Hamza Shahbaz Sharif as the province’s new chief minister in the coming days.
Despite having met with Chaudhry Shujaat twice before, Zardari returned to Zahoor palace last night and stayed there for several hours.
citing sources to support their claim that Pervez and Moonis Elahi received a message asking for a meeting from the former president. They both, however, declined to speak with him.
According to sources close to Pervez Elahi, the speaker of the Punjab Assembly made it clear that he was Imran Khan’s choice for the chief minister of Punjab.
In the meantime, sources with knowledge of the situation claimed that Zardari spoke with PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif about the political climate in advance of the election for the chief executive of Punjab.
According to sources, Nawaz Sharif suggested making Pervez Elahi a joint candidate of the PML-N and PML-Q for the position of Punjab CM during a telephone conversation.
Pervez Elahi wouldn’t be the joint candidate of the PML-N and PML-Q for the CM Punjab election, according to Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah, who also denied the news reports.
“There is no truth to this rumor; it is just a rumor. We are all hoping for Hamza Shahbaz’s success because he is the only candidate for the PML-N and coalition partner.
In accordance with prior reports In the upcoming election for chief minister of Punjab, the PML-N has decided on its plan of attack against Ch Pervez Elahi.
The three largest parties in the Punjab Assembly, as well as their allies, are reportedly planning to stay in a hotel close to the Lahore airport from July 17 to July 22.
It is anticipated that the MPAs will guarantee their attendance at the hotel and walk with Hamza Shahbaz Sharif as he leads them to the Assembly.
Hamza Shahbaz is anticipated to convene a meeting of the members prior to departing for the Assembly. To stop riots during the election of the Leader of the House, the members were instructed to enter the House in groups.
Party sources claim that all MPs from the PML-N and the coalition partners have been ordered to raise the tension by yelling insults at Imran Khan and Pervez Elahi, with the deputy speaker securing the members.
It is a run-off election for the Leader of the House, and only members present in the hall will be counted, so sources say the PML-N may try to prevent members of the current opposition alliance from entering the House. The party will make an effort to prevent Chaudhry Pervez Elahi from being chosen as Leader of the House.
To address their concerns, Maryam Nawaz will meet with employees and disgruntled party members. Sources claim that the PML-social N’s media branch will also be reorganized.
Maryam Nawaz will reply to PTI Chairman imran khan in his native tongue, they added. Every day, she will keep an eye on the party’s operations from her office in Model Town. Several PML-N members’ names are reportedly being considered for inclusion in Maryam Nawaz’s new political team, according to sources.
