ISLAMABAD – Former federal minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Daniyal Aziz has decided to field his wife for 2018 general elections.
The decision came after the Supreme Court of Pakistan disqualified former legislator and firebrand politician for five years after finding him guilty of contempt of court.
Following the disqualification of the politician, the top brass of the PML-N has issued the ticket to his wife Mehnaz Akbar Aziz for NA-77 Narowal.

Earlier, the former minister had announced to field his father in the forthcoming election from his constituency but Anwar Aziz Chaudhry was already a PML-N ticket holder for provincial assembly seat from the city.
The former minister, following the verdict, is no more able to take part in upcoming elections from his hometown, NA-77 Narowal as he could not hold any public office for five years.
The court ruling states the PML-N leader has been convicted under Article 204 for maligning the court, making the judiciary controversial and interrupting justice.
