Senator Sardar Mohammad Yaqoob Khan Nasir has been appointed interim president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
According to local news channel ‘Geo News’, PML(N) central working committee meeting held in Islamabad on Thursday to give formal approval of his appointment.
Former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday had chosen Senator Sardar Yaqoob Khan to become interim president of the party.
According to reports, Nawaz discussed Nasir’s interim presidency with the senior party leadership at his residence and is said to have received no serious resistance to the proposal.
Earlier on August 8, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) notified PML-N that with the disqualification of Nawaz Sharif, the party must elect its new president as according to the Political Parties Order (2002), a disqualified person cannot hold the key party position. (PhotoNews / Geo News)
