The PML-N has called its general council meeting on March 5 to elect its Punjab chapter leadership, including president and secretary general, in which Punjab CM Shahbaz Sharif is expected to be elected as Punjab president, Pakistan Today has learnt. PML-N spokesman Pervaiz Rashid confirmed the election date and said that the party wanted a strong candidate as its Punjab president, as general elections were approaching. Going by the PML-N’s tradition, Shahbaz was expected to be smoothly elected, as no other candidate looked interested to become the provincial chief.
But no candidate could be considered as favourite for the slot of secretary general. A PML-N leader said that Tehmina Daultana, Samiullah Khan and one of the Khosas could become the Punjab secretary general. But other party leaders disputed that claim saying that Tehmina was too senior for the slot while Samiullah, a young candidate from South Punjab could be a suitable candidate.
