Her statement comes amid speculation surrounding the potential return of her father, Nawaz Sharif, from London to lead the party's election campaign, further fueling anticipation and political discourse in Pakistan.
Maryam Nawaz addressed party members and supporters on Saturday, stating, "PML-N will win the upcoming elections with a thumping majority, and the party will emerge as an effective parliamentary force." Her statement echoes the optimism within the party regarding their prospects in the electoral contest, according to PTI reports.
Encouraging party workers to actively engage with the public, Maryam emphasized the importance of a robust people contact campaign, seeking to connect with voters and garner their support. This strategy reflects the PML-N's commitment to mobilize grassroots support and strengthen their electoral standing.
As part of the party's preparations, the top leadership of the PML-N is scheduled to meet with Nawaz Sharif in London in the near future. The agenda of the meeting includes discussions on the potential election dates, the current political situation in Pakistan, and other relevant issues that will shape the party's electoral strategy.
Meanwhile, in a controversial move, Pakistan's Senate passed a bill on Friday aimed at ensuring that no parliamentarian faces lifelong disqualification. The opposition has criticized this bill, alleging that it is an attempt to facilitate Nawaz Sharif's return to the country and his participation in the upcoming elections. Sharif had been disqualified in 2017 by a Supreme Court bench and later became ineligible to hold public office for life based on a subsequent court verdict in 2018.
Nawaz Sharif, who served as Pakistan's prime minister for three non-consecutive terms, had been serving a seven-year imprisonment sentence in the Al-Azizia corruption case before leaving for London in 2019 to seek medical treatment.
