PML-N leaders Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday paid a visit to longtime political rival and PML-Q chief Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain at his residence in Lahore.<\/p>\n

On Nov 9, while answering a question regarding possible alliances, PML-N Punjab President Rana Sanaullah confirmed<\/a> that Nawaz and Shujaat would meet soon to discuss the matter.<\/p>\n

Dawn<\/em> had reported<\/a> that during their meeting, PML-Q could be given the option to merge itself with the PML-N.<\/p>\n

However, senior PML-Q leader Chaudhry Shafay Hussain, in a statement released days later, had denied<\/a> that a merger was being considered, clarifying that his party was open to the possibility of seat adjustments.<\/p>\n

The planned meeting took place today, although a statement released by PML-N through its account on X did not mention any alliance.<\/p>\n

The meeting between Nawaz and Shujaat was the first one since the former\u2019s return<\/a> to the country on October 21, the PML-N stated.<\/p>\n

The meeting was attended by several other PML-N leaders, namely Maryam Nawaz Sanaullah, Sardar Ayaz Sadiq, Azam Nazir Tarar and Marriyum Aurangzeb.<\/p>\n

Tariq Bashir Cheema, Chaudhry Wajahat Hussain, Shafay and Chaudhry Salik Hussain, Jafar Khan Mandokhel and other party leaders were also present in the meeting.<\/p>\n

Nawaz has met <\/a> a number of leaders over the past month to either rope them in or form alliances ahead of the general elections, scheduled to be held on February 8.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
