PML-N Supremo Nawaz Sharif all set to land in Balochistan tomorrow for forming new alliances

LAHORE, Nov 12 (SABAH): Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Quaid and former prime minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif is reaching Quetta tomorrow (Monday) for forging new alliances and boosting his party’s organisation in Balochistan, as the three-time prime minister, despite his disqualification, eyes fourth term in office.

According to media reports, Nawaz Sharif – who is regarded as the comeback man – is confident of regaining power after his conviction in the NAB cases to achieve what has been considered an impossible by many who predicted the end of politics just like during his pervious exile when Pervez Musharraf had deported him to Saudi Arabia.

PML-N President and former prime minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz Sharif – the party’s chief organiser will accompany him for his three-day visit to Balochistan where he is expected to close a seat-adjustment deal with the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) which is now led by Mir Khalid Hussain Magsi.

The Balochistan-based party had parted ways with the PTI-led ruling alliance, paving the way for the success of a no-confidence motion which propelled Shehbaz Sharif to the prime minister’s office for a 16-month-long stint.

The planned agreement with the BAP comes after the PML-N last week secured a similar deal with the MQM-Pakistan in Sindh where discussions are on for extending the electoral collaboration to other parties like Pir Sahib Pagara’s PML-F and the JUI-F.

Nawaz Sharif is also expected to meet over 20 prominent political leaders and several of them will join the PML-N, boosting the party’s prospects in February 8 general elections.
