F.P. Report

LAHORE: The Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) on Saturday elected Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain as its party president and Minister for Housing and Works Tariq Bashir Cheema as the party’s secretary-general.

According to a press statement, both Cheema and Hussain were elected unopposed as no candidate came forward to contest their roles. The statement said that the internal election process for the party had started in October last year across Pakistan from the tehsil level. It added that with the central elections held in Lahore recently, the party’s electoral process was complete.

Newly-elected party president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain thanked the provincial-level party chiefs for reimposing their trust in his leadership. He also ordered the provincial party presidents to work on the reorganisation of the party in all provinces.

Earlier, during the elections for the provincial leadership, the party had elected Tariq Hasan as the party president in Sindh, Saeed-ul-Hasan Mandokhel to lead the party in Balochistan and Mehboob Allahjan for the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chapter of PML-Q. The party had elected Punjab Assembly Speaker Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi as its president for the same province, while in Gilgit Baltistan the party will be led by Asadullah Khan.
