Maryam had a meeting with Shehbaz to talk about party business.
Two party leaders had a discussion about various organizational and other party-related concerns.
Maryam Nawaz, senior vice president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), met with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday to discuss ongoing problems within the PML-N following Shahid Khaqan Abbasi’s resignation.
PM Shehbaz and Maryam chose to appease irate party officials in an effort to allay their concerns, according to PML-N sources.
Discussions during the conference included Abbasi’s resignation, upcoming by-elections, and potential elections in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
The two party leaders also addressed organisational and other matters, including Maryam’s worker conventions that are currently taking place across the nation and consultations on how to organise them.
The premier promised to participate in the elections fully prepared and promised to soon send a message to PML-N employees about the impending elections.
Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, a former prime minister, earlier declared that Maryam Nawaz was the reason for his resignation as senior vice president of the party.
Maryam, the daughter of party leader Nawaz Sharif, was elevated to the position of senior vice president in January. Had she returned to Pakistan after a three-month hiatus, she would have shared this position with Abbasi.
The senior politician submitted his resignation from the position, although he is still a party member.
Speaking to journalists, Abbasi explained his decision to step down as the party’s senior vice president by stating that “Maryam has become a senior leader” and that “she needs space.”
“Differences might have developed if I had been present,” he said.
Maryam, the party’s main organiser, has been tasked with “restructuring” and “reorganising” the party at “all levels,” but because the PML-N has been allowed till March 14 by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to hold intra-party elections, tensions are escalating within the party.
