Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the only daughter of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif, will not be contesting in the upcoming general elections.

According to details, Maryam Nawaz did not show up at the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) office on Sunday to file her nomination papers. Sunday was the last day for candidates to file their papers to contest in elections. However, neither Maryam Nawaz nor any of her representatives turned up at the ECP office to file her nomination papers.

It is pertinent to mention that political analysts had predicted that Maryam, after Hamza Shahbaz Sharif, was being groomed to play an active role in mainstream politics of the country. It was widely believed that she would contest the elections from Lahore.

Maryam Nawaz had made many public appearances – from laptop distribution ceremonies to extra-curricular activities – over the last five years. Had she decided to contest in the upcoming general elections, Maryam would have given a fresh face to PML-N’s politics.

Her husband, Capt (R) Safdar, is already a political figure. He is contesting the coming polls from Nowshera from a National Assembly constituency. He is an ex-MNA as well.

    • Excuse me? Please fix your thinking, women are not a last resort that someone will use them as a sahara. We are equals. Its BECAUSE of people like yourself that Pakistan is in the state that its in and crimes against women are on a rising toll. WAKE UP and look around at the great things women have accomplished. Have some respect.

    • Before you get upset. Please go and read the case . Why he was hanged. It does not matter what was the nationality.

  3. What I don't understand is that why is her husband contesting election from Nowshera? He is from Mansehra. Common sense would tell me that you would want to run for election from your own area unless you are so despised there that you would rather go to a strange town and think that you have a better shot at winning there than your own hometown. Sharifs are the biggest badmash.

    • I am not defending sharifs. Please give some example of badmashi. I am sitting in USA. May be I missed some thing interesting.

      • Wether you are sitting or prostrated, you won't know the difference because in that country this is common practice.I am talking about badmashi.

  5. First of All I have two daughters. second is married to IShaq Dar my ch00r chaprasis son.

  6. You know in Pakistan ,Chaprasi has more power than the BOSS sitting inside the office. So please do not degrade Mr Dar

  7. Maybe she knows, she has no chance of winning. She would have been humiliated anyway against any PTI opponent.

    PTI Zindabad

  9. Maryam you should ignore Altaf Hussain;s cry for Mauroosi Syasat. You own Pakistan and we are your subjects..

  10. Looks like she may have defaulted on loans taken out for family! Hence, decided not to go for ECP scrutiny.

  11. who so ever comes she should be frindly to India and promote good relations not double dialogues like hina rabbani

    • Only sensible leadership, which can fight with narrow minded hate ridden religious fanatics can understand your sincere advice. In Pakistan, I think, MQM is the only party which stands for secular Pakistan has the potential to resolve Indo Pakistan disputes on friendly basis.

      HR Khar is good and enlightened. She was sincere to sort out the issues intelligently but she could not face the religious maniacs.

  12. Hina rabbani was more encashing her so called beauty and expensive bags / dresses but she had shown her narrowmindedness by saying that nothing has happened when two jawans were beheaded here and Some other inaccurate remarks few days before her term was over. We will not expect this from Maryum Nawaz who during Nawaz Sharif tenure were trying to befriend India quite a no. of times.Hina Rabbani started off well but later spoilt her image BY HER OWNSELF.
    anyways lets see
