Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) held its executive committee meeting on Thursday, chaired by party president Shahbaz Sharif, in which it was decided that PML-N “would play the role of a strong opposition”.

Shahbaz Sharif said they would write congratulation letters to the winning candidates and appreciation letters to the losing candidates.

The PML-N president said they would raise a strong voice against the alleged poll rigging, adding that the party would “also provide available evidence of the rigging to the Election Commission of Pakistan”.
