LAHORE, Aug 4: The Pakistan Muslim League (Quaid-i-Azam) says the election of Mian Shahbaz Sharif as president of the rival faction will not affect it anyway.

Sources, however, said some leaders preparing to join the PML(QA) might reconsider the situation. The euphoria will last for about a week, a central leader said. He said the party was watching the situation carefully and would decide its policy vis a vis the Nawaz faction according to the requirements of the situation.
