Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supreme leader Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz will hold a public meeting in Murree at the General Post Office (GPO) square on Monday afternoon.

The PML-N has given the party ticket to Raja Usama AshfaqSarwar in NA-51, which comprises Murree, Kotli Sattian, and Kahuta tehsils.

Raja Usama Ashfaq Sarwar is the son of Raja Ashfaq Sarwar, who was PML-N Punjab chapter vice president.

After the former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi decided to stay away from the 2024 polls, the PML-N awarded ticket to the young son of Raja Ashfaq Sarwar.

To run the campaign for Raja Usama Ashfaq Sarwar, Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz have decided to visit Murree. The PML-N’s main political gathering was held on January 27 in Rawalpindi, where former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif visited the city to address the voters and supporters.
