After absence of three months, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz has returned to Pakistan. Maryam’s return is seen within the party as a morale booster as the by-elections in the recently vacated NA seats have been announced and the Punjab and KP by-polls are also arround the corner.
She was recently appointed as Chief Organiser of her party, other than reorganisation, Maryam is also expected to push forward the newly adopted narrative of the PML-N.
Maryam Nawaz had sailed from London on Friday and returned to Pakistan after a brief stay in Dubai. She was taken from the Lahore airport to her residence at Jati Umrah in the form of a rally. Maryam’s return has also formally allow the party to begin its election drive.
Prior to her arrival, the party was already experimenting with a new narrative. However, because many senior party leaders were preoccupied with government matters, this narrative has yet to gain traction.
Other than this, the party was also expected to emphasise its past performance, when Nawaz Sharif was in power, to highlight the advancements the country had made during his stint. So far, no political activity schedule has been announced by the PML-N.
Maryam Nawaz left for London on October 6 after getting her passport from the court—which remained surrendered there for three years—to be with her father, Nawaz Sharif, and to undergo surgery.
The PML-N leadership had been demanding the return of Nawaz Sharif or Maryam Nawaz as the elections are right around the corner and the recent defeat in the no-confidence move against Pervaiz Elahi gave strength to the argument that PML-N needs Maryam Nawaz or Nawaz Sharif in the country as PM Shehbaz Sharif, who is also president of the PML-N is unable to give time to the party affairs due to his engagements in running country’s affairs.
The return of Maryam Nawaz is being hailed in the PML-N ranks and the leadership is hopeful that the situation will not change after Maryam Nawaz’s return.
