PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz has said that there is “no truth” in assumptions that party supremo Nawaz Sharif is staying away from politics because he did not choose to be the party’s candidate for the premiership.

In a post on X, Maryam said, “During the next five years, not only would he actively participate in politics but also lead his governments in the Centre and Punjab.”

She further said that Nawaz had “made it clear in his election speeches that he would not be a part of any coalition government”.
