The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Sunday constituted a seven-member election commission to elect the party’s central office bearers. Nawaz Sharif and Sartaj Aziz are all set to become the PML-N’s central president and secretary general respectively on July 27.
The Election Commission comprises of Iqbal Zafar Jhagra, M Hamza, Syed Mamnoon Hussain, Changez Khan Marri, Pir Sabir Shah, Shah Ghulam Qadir and Haji Akbar. Election of the party’s provincial office bearers will be held after the central office bearers are elected. A source in the PML-N said there was consensus in the party’s top command that Nawaz Sharif and Sartaj Aziz will be elected party’s president and secretary general respectively as no party member will submit nomination papers against them.
“Ahsan Iqbal will take the position of additional secretary general while Senator Pervez Rashid will be the information secretary. Senator Raja Zafarul Haq will remain party’s chairman while Makhdoom Javed Hashmi will be elected as the senior vice president of PML-N,” the source added.
