F.P. Report
ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Friday updated Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s name as the president of ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N).
On its official website, the electoral commission changed the name of ruling party president.
Earlier on March 13, the general council of PML-N elected the younger brother of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif as new chairperson of the party.
On February 22, the Supreme Court of Pakistan declared Nawaz Sharif ineligible to lead the party. The top party seat fell vacant after Sharif’s disqualification.
The three-member bench of the apex court, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar, was hearing petitions challenging a controversial amendment in Electoral Reforms Bill 2017, when it ruled that a disqualified person cannot lead a political party.
The bench also declared that all decisions taken by Nawaz as PML-N’s president stand null and void after today’s judgement.
