Why did Nawaz Sharif suddenly withdraw from the race for PM?
Pakistan Politics: Since the election results came in Pakistan, manipulations regarding government formation have started. Till now it was believed that Nawaz Sharif himself is the biggest contender for the post of PM from PML-N i.e. Nawaz Sharif’s party. Nawaz did the entire election campaign as a candidate for the post of PM. But suddenly the news came that not Nawaz Sharif, now his younger brother Shahbaz Sharif will become the PM. Nawaz Sharif withdrew himself from the race for the post of PM and put Shahbaz’s name forward. In such a situation the question arises that why and how did this happen?
As soon as the results were declared, talks took place between Nawaz Sharif and Bilawal’s party regarding alliance. From this it became clear that Shehbaz Sharif will be the PM candidate from PML-N and elder Zardari can become the President. In this way, the path for PML-N leader Shehbaz Sharif to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan has almost become clear. Bilawal Bhutto’s father Asif Ali Zardari can also become the next Pakistani President.
Nawaz announces Shahbaz’s name, PTI Chairman alleges
After this deal, Nawaz Sharif announced that Shahbaz Sharif will take over as PM. Meanwhile, Imran Khan’s party PTI Chairman Pervez Elahi on Wednesday claimed that Nawaz Sharif has been ‘framed’ and insulted by his brother Shehbaz Sharif. Ilahi, who was once close to the Sharif family, said that now Nawaz Sharif will have to spend his entire life hiding his face.
Why did Nawaz step back from the post of PM, what is the reason?
Ilahi has given this statement at a time when the question has become acute as to why Nawaz Sharif stepped back. Nawaz’s party had campaigned in the name of making him the PM during the entire election campaign. The same Nawaz Sharif had just returned from London to become the PM after the deal with the army and now due to his retreat, the market of speculations regarding this has become heated. Many analysts in Pakistan say that Nawaz Sharif has made this sacrifice to advance his daughter’s political career in Punjab province.
Nawaz Sharif will run the government from behind the scenes in Punjab
Punjab is the most powerful province of Pakistan and it is from here that the politics of the entire country is decided. Till now Punjab was the stronghold of the Sharif family but Imran Khan has made a dent in it. This is the reason why Nawaz Sharif seems to be losing his ground. According to analysts, even though Maryam Nawaz will become the CM of Punjab, Nawaz Sharif will run the government from behind the scenes and will secure the future of his daughter. Maryam has said that father Nawaz Sharif did not want to lead any coalition government.
Maryam said, ‘Those who know Nawaz also know that he has no interest in leading a coalition government.’ Maryam also said that Nawaz will not leave politics. They will monitor the Punjab and Central governments.
