2. By-Election of NA 120

The wife of former premier Kulsoom Nawaz  is now a candidate for the same seat and if she is able to win the contest there is a high probability of Nawaz Sharif returning to the prime minster house in a different role but with the same power. Nevertheless, since Kulsoom’s nomination has also been challenged by the opposition, the probability of her facing a disqualification scenario like her husband can too not be ruled out completely.

Either way the uncertainty should end this week and as ordinary citizens of the country we can only hope that whatever happens is in the best interest of the country and its people.
