LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Punjab President Rana Sanaullah Khan has claimed that his party would bag over 40 seats out of a total of 46 from South Punjab in the general elections.
“We are in touch with strong candidates in South Punjab and efforts are underway to strengthen electoral strength in this part of the province,” Rana said while talking to the media, here Tuesday.
Syed Mehsood Alam from PP-255 and Syed Mubeen Zamin from PP-256 announced joining the PML-N. “From NA-166, Makhdoom Syed Sami Gilani has joined the PML-N while from NA-169 Syed Mubeen Ahmed is a strong candidate,” he said.
The PML-N leader claimed that his party would gain strength not only in Punjab but from other provinces as well to lead the country. “Democracy is moving forward and the assemblies are completing their terms with time,” he said, adding: “With the support of the people, the PML-N would return to power and steer the country out of all the crises.” However, he said that collective efforts are needed to overcome the manifold challenges.
Answering a question, Rana Sanaullah said that Bilawal Bhutto is like a brother; he being the party chairman should avoid using foul language, as this would only increase tension.
