Nawaz Sharif names brother as PM candidate for 2018 election

Islamabad, Dec 21 : Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz chief Nawaz Sharif has nominated his brother Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif as party’s candidate for the prime minister in the 2018 parliamentary elections.

The announcement came following a party meeting at the ousted prime minister’s residence, Express News reported on Thursday.

“Shehbaz has never opposed my opinion.
He has vast administrative experience,” Sharif was quoted as saying.

On July 28, the Supreme Court had disqualified Nawaz for failing to declare an unclaimed salary from a Dubai-based company of his son, as an asset when filing his nomination papers in 2013.
