In case Shahbaz Sharif is to become the next premier of Pakistan, the ruling PML-N would elect an interim premier so that Shahbaz Sharif can leave his provincial seat and contest by-elections for the National Assembly.
Senior journalist Saleh Zaafir told Geo News that PML-N’s consultative session had decided that Shehbaz Sharif will be the next Prime Minister of Pakistan.
He added that either Hamza Shehbaz Sharif or Rana Sanaullah will replace Shehbaz Sharif as the Punjab chief minister.
After the consultative meeting, another parliamentary meeting of the party would take place in which the final decision would be made as to who would lead the government now.
