Former PTI leader Raja Riaz has joined the PML-N after meeting the party supremo Nawaz Sharif in London, United Kingdom, said the N-league.
“Former member of National Assembly Raja Riaz Ahmed met with PML-N Quaid Nawaz Sharif and party President Shehbaz Sharif. Raja Riaz Ahmed joined the PML-N while expressing full confidence in the leadership of Nawaz Sharif,” said the PML-N in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Saturday.
Such a development was expected, according to many experts as Riaz had openly spoken about his intention of joining the N-league when he was the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly in the last Parliament.
Riaz, who was among the PTI’s disgruntled leaders, became the opposition leader after many leaders of the Imran Khan-led party quit the assemblies in protest against the ouster of their party leader.
PML-N Senator Ishaq Dar, Mian Nasir Janjua, Attaullah Tarar, Malik Ahmad Khan, Azam Nazir Tarar, and Amjad Parvez were also present on the occasion.
The PML-N is preparing for the return of Nawaz who is scheduled to return on October 21 to spearhead the party’s election campaign.
