ISLAMABAD: A meeting of the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz’s parliamentary party nominated Nawaz Sharif for the position of prime minister.

Sharif’s name was recommended by Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan during the meeting and was subsequently approved by the parliamentary party.

The PML-N chief told his party’s MNAs that those who had vandalised the national wealth had to be held accountable, adding that PML-N lawmakers had a huge responsibility on their shoulders.

The meeting also deliberated on nominations for the positions of speaker and deputy speaker of the National Assembly.

Over 150 members of the party were present during the meeting held in Islamabad.
