“We are here to tell the nation that we speak against each other during the elections, and that period of campaigning is now over. Our fight is now against the challenges of the country. The first challenge is the economy which we have to strengthen. It is a big challenge,” said Shehbaz Sharif.

He said he would request Nawaz Sharif to accept the office of prime minister.

He said they are able to establish the majority and vowed to work hard to steer the country out of crises.

“I , once again, thank you all. And being PML-N president, I express my gratitude,” said the PML-president.
