ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday declared 5 prominent Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leaders successful in the general election 2024.
The election commission, in a notice, announced the victory of the 5 PML-N leaders, including Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz Sharif, Hamza Shehbaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz, and Attaullah Tarar.
As per the ECP’s notification, Hamza Shahbaz Sharif secured success in NA-118 Lahore, Maryam Nawaz Sharif achieved victory in NA-119 Lahore, and Shehbaz Sharif secured the declaration of success in NA-123 Lahore.
Likewise, PML-N’s Attaullah Tarar was declared successful from NA-127 Lahore, along with PML-N’s supremo and three-time prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who emerged successful from NA-130, as officially declared in the notification.
PML-N Ready to Sit in Opposition
In another development, the PML-N president, Shehbaz Sharif, said that the PML-N will gladly sit in the opposition if PTI-backed independent candidates show a majority and form a government in the Centre.
However, he said, if they fail to form a government, then other political parties have the right to form a government – which, according to him, is the “legal and democratic way to do things”.
He said that his party had emerged as the “biggest political party” after the February 8 polls.
Shehbaz Sharif said that independent candidates had secured more votes, saying that if one counts independent candidates, then obviously their number is greater, but in political parties, the PML-N is number one.
He said that since the results of the polls had been released, it was now time to move on to the next phase.
The former prime minister urged political forces to put their differences aside and join hands to help tackle the challenges being faced by the country.
