PML-N leader Hamza Shahbaz has called for early elections in the country days after being elected as the new chief minister of Punjab.
Speaking on a primetime show, Punjab Chief Minister-elect Hamza Shehbaz termed fresh polls the only solution to taking Pakistan forward. Free and fair election is the only solution to move forward, he said.
However, he mentioned that there are elections reforms and the Election Commission is also asking time for preparations.
Hamza, who is the third member of the Sharif family to be elected as chief minister of the country’s most populous region, also reacted to a controversial statement of former Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry in which he blamed the establishment for the ouster of Imran Khan’s government.
He also raised questions at Imran Khan’s meeting with US congresswoman Ilhan Omar, who is on an official visit to Pakistan.
