Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has lauded the party workers for their immense support to him.
Addressing the central council of the party on Tuesday at the convention centre, he said: “The PML-N members have honoured me to become the president for the third consecutive time,” he said.
He continued to say that he is constantly working to serve the country and keeping the party members satisfied.
“All designated members of the party hold equal significance,” the PM said.
While talking about his desire to serve the country and the constant developments he said, “There has been a huge paradigm shift between the Pakistan in 2013 and the Pakistan today.”
PM Nawaz blasted at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf saying the party’s leadership has spent all its time on containers and dancing instead of serving Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
“Today the people of KP are searching for their elected leader. They are searching for those who promised them a ‘Naya Pakistan’ but they are only found on containers,” he said in a veiled reference to PTI Chief Imran Khan.
“Had you focused on your province, people would be praising you, but the situation now is such that you need months of effort to organise a gathering and to get people to attend it.”
“Citizens will patronise those who they believe will work for the development of Pakistan.” he said.
“Forget about Pakistan, the PTI will have washed their hands of KP by 2018,” he said, adding that the province would be ruled by the PML-N after the next general election.
Earlier today, he was elected unopposed as the president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in the party’s intra-party elections held in Islamabad.
Raja Zafarul Haq has been elected as Chairman and Sartaj Aziz, Sir Anjaam Khan, Sikandar Hayat, Changez Mari, Imdad Hussain Chandio, Yaqoub Nasir as the senior vice presidents of the party.
Pervaiz Rashid has been elected unopposed as the Finance Secretary, Mushahidullah Information Secretary and Ahsan Iqbal Deputy Secretary General of the party.
