Top leadership of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has decided to put forward Punjab Chief Minister, Shahbaz Sharif as Prime Ministerial candidate after the 2018 elections if party president Nawaz Sharif remained ineligible to run for office. <br/><br/>This was decided in a meeting in London on Monday, which was presided over by Nawaz Sharif and attended by Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif and federal ministers Ishaq Dar, Khwaja Asif and Ahsan Iqbal. <br/><br/>A senior PML-N leader told media in Lahore yesterday that the decision to pitch Shahbaz Sharif for the office had been taken in view of the fact that disqualification of the elder Sharif under the Supreme Court orders in the Panama Papers case might not be overturned by the vote due after about nine months.
