Maryam Nawaz will 'rebuild' Punjab: PML-N

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Wednesday said that its seniour vice-president Maryam Nawaz, who has been nominated for the coveted post of CM Punjab, will rebuild the provincial capital.

Taking to X, the official account of Nawaz Sharif's party wrote: "Through thick and thin, Maryam Nawaz Sharif has been the anchor that has held PML-N steady." 

"She rebuilt the party, and she will rebuild Punjab," it added. 

Maryam Nawaz was nominated for the top provincial post by the PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif after the former secured victory in the recently held general elections on February 8.

She won the polls on National Assembly (NA-119) and Provincial Assembly (PP-159) seats in Lahore.

However, she has to withdraw from her National Assembly seat if she wants to assume the CM office.

Earlier a week, Maryam Nawaz also took a briefing about the overall situation in Punjab.

Punjab Chief Secretary Zahid Akhtar Zaman briefed about the ongoing development works as well as the law and order situation in the province.

Health Secretary Ali Jan Punjab Inspector General Usman Anwar met the PML-N politician in Jatti Umrah on February 16. 

The three-time premier's party had clinched a simple majority in the Punjab Assembly with 138 seats, followed by PTI-backed independent candidates, who secured 116 seats.
