Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said that the PML-N will not only contest the next general elections but also win them, DawnNewsTV reported on Saturday.
Following a meeting in London with his predecessor Nawaz Sharif, his two sons and other PML-N leaders, PM Abbasi had a brief chat with newsmen, telling them that that everyone believes in the sanctity of vote and that "vote ko izzat do" (give respect to vote) will remain the main slogan of the party for the upcoming polls.
The PM said that the name of caretaker prime minister will be finalised after consultation with the Leader of the Opposition, Syed Khurshid Shah.
"The elections will be conducted on time," PM Abbasi added.
The PM dismissed any chance of Sharif turning his visit to London into a self-imposed exile, declaring: "Mian Nawaz Sharif came here from Pakistan and that is where he will return."
Sharif, the former PM, concurred with the incumbent, saying: "I will not act like Pervez Musharraf and will return to the country soon."
Sharif confirmed that the matter of choosing the caretaker prime minister came under discussion during his meeting with Abbasi. "A caretaker government that abides by the law should be elected," he said.

For protecting corruption
They meet in London !!!!
Impartial Caretaker Government is must for correct decisions,first to throw out all the rotten eggs, and no tainted, smeared, contestant should be allowed to contest in election. No gimmicks, no covert deals, everything must be transparent.
Mr. NS we no longer want you and other corrupt leaders. Please "vote ko izzat do" !!
Martial law is the only solution of this country. Martial law give equal rights to all politicians as well as civilians.
How come a court convicted liar issue statements about Pak next elections ?. I guess his statements should be banned altogether from.any sort of media.
Which other country has this type of government?? what a shame for Pakistan =(
I thought this corrupted thief(Nawaz)was here to see Kulsoom,not to have meeting with another corrupted PM.for his safe guarding his future.
What a joke, why does he consult a corrupt and disqualified prime minister and has to travel to Uk at public expense for this, he should be arrested and put on trial for treason.
Why Pakistan PM Abassi has to meet Nawaz including his sons in London? Why couldn't he meet him in Lahore? Does it mean that Nawaz is going to decide the future of poor Pakistanis whilst his sons are enjoying the looted billions. Time has come for masses to stand by their CJ Nisar instead of looters if they care about the future of their children. Masses should realize that for same reason Nawaz has positioned his own family in UK as he doesn't see bright future in Pakistan.
What a democracy, a Pm travels to Uk at public expense to discuss matters with a disqualified and corrupt former PM
Nawaz discuss what and why? He is a criminal
With PML-N doing all the wrong things to disrupt the country and still following the edicts of a disqualified and banned leader, let the Supreme Court decide who will be the members of Caretaker government.
If he has just left Pakistan and due back within a week. Why could this meeting not happen in Pakistan.
Waste of money as always
Why is the PM of Pakistan conferring with a known money launderer. Nawaz sharif has been banned from holding any public office. So why is the PM meeting him.
I’ve no idea when this nonsense will stop?
Care taker government should be selected not elected
@Syed totally agreed with you !
‘Law Abiding’ like him??
Why is he consulting NS? What has he anything to do with government issues?
PM of a country goes to foreign country to consult a person dismissed by his country supreme court to discuss state matters. These ppl can do anything for their personal gains.
