Senior PPP leader Khurshid Shah has advised PML-N party supremo Nawaz Sharif to not go for the prime minister’s slot. “Nawaz Sharif should not become a candidate for premiership,” Shah said in an interview. “There are many question marks on Nawaz Sharif’s election in Lahore and the general opinion is that he was handed the victory,” Shah said. He suggested Shehbaz Sharif or Ayaz Sadiq as potential candidates for the prime minister’s slot. “As a political worker, I am of the opinion that we should not touch anyone’s mandate,” he said, adding that PPP would not poach any elected member from other parties. He said that PML-N should not run after numbers instead they should stick to their “respect the vote” slogan.
