The PML-N senior leader who is also the chief election commissioner of the intra-party election says that the party leaders and workers are united to re-elect Nawaz as president

Lahore: Rana Sanaullah, Adviser to the Prime Minister on Political and Public Affairs, said that Nawaz Sharif has made the Muslim League the most popular political party since the era of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.
Rana Sanaullah, who also serves as the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s (PML-N) intra-party Chief Election Commissioner, assured that the ongoing elections are being conducted transparently.
He expressed these words while addressing a press conference in Lahore on Monday.
Rana Sanaullah noted that the PML-N president position became vacant following Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's resignation. According to the party’s constitution, the election process is now underway, with expectations that former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will return unopposed as the PML-N president.
He announced that PML-N members can submit their nomination papers between 10 am and 12 pm on May 28, with the option to withdraw by 2 pm the same day. "The final list of candidates will be published by 3 pm," he stated.
In response to a question, he confirmed that former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is eligible to collect and submit nomination papers, with his eligibility to be determined by the scrutiny committee.
The PML-N general council session agenda includes electing the party’s president and approving amendments to the party’s constitution. Both the acting president, PM Shehbaz Sharif, and the newly elected president are expected to address the session. Additionally, the general council will pass resolutions on issues such as Kashmir and Palestine.
Initially, the PML-N had scheduled the general council meeting to elect the president on May 11 but later rescheduled it to May 28 to coincide with Youm-e-Takbeer, marking the 26th anniversary of Pakistan’s nuclear tests on May 28, 1998.
