Nawaz lands in Balochistan tomorrow to woo new alliances

LAHORE: PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif is reaching Quetta tomorrow (Nov 14) for forging new alliances and boosting his party’s organisation in Balochistan.

PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz – 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 Khalid 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 to the prime minister’s office for a 16-month-long stint.

BAP leaders likely to join PML-N

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

Nawaz 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.
