The five-member election commission of the party is headed by Rana Sanaullah. Iqbal Jhagra, Ishrat Ashraf, Jamal Shah Kakar, and Khealdas Kohistani are other members of the commission.
Candidates can get nomination papers up to 5:00 in the evening, a party spokesperson said. “The papers could be submitted from 10:00 am to 12;00 noon tomorrow,” the spokesman said.
“Scrutiny of the papers will be held between 1:00 to 2:00 pm”.
“The central general council of the party will elect a new president at 4:00 pm tomorrow,” the election commission announced.
Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is likely to return unopposed as the PML-N president.
According to the agenda of the PML-N general council session, it will elect the party’s president and approve amendments in the party’s constitution.
Acting president of the party Shehbaz Sharif and newly elected president will address the session.
The general council will also approve resolutions over Kashmir, Palestine, and other matters during the session.
The PML-N had earlier announced to hold the party’s general council meeting for the president’s election on May 11 but later decided to hold the session on the occasion of Youm-e-Takbeer on May 28, the day marking the completion of 26 years since Pakistan’s nuclear tests on May 28th, 1998.
