LAHORE: Former Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) leader Zaeem Qadri is likely to join Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s political party after Eidul Fitr, sources said.
Sources privy to the development said that Abbasi will meet former PML-N leader Khaqan Abbasi after Eidul Fitr in Islamabad.
Khaqan Abbasi has decided to contact more Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) disgruntled leaders to include them in his new political party, they say.
Disgruntled Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Monday approached the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to register his own political party.
The former prime minister, who parted ways with the PML-N after having differences over the last year, submitted relevant documents to the poll election body for the registration of a new political party.
During an informal interaction with a group of journalists, Abbasi said that all necessary documents have been provided to the ECP for the registration of a new political group.
Abbasi, the former prime minister, served the top office from August 2017 to May 2018.
Prior to Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s big move, Jahangir Tareen and Pervez Khattak — formed their own political parties along with a large number of politicians.
It is pertinent to mention here that Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had hinted at forming a new party on several occasions since he had differences with the PML-N’s top leadership.
