Internal conflicts and challenges in seat adjustments have caused a delay in Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) announcing party tickets for the upcoming Punjab elections on February 8, 2024.
Party sources reveal that disputes between leaders and difficulties in finalizing decisions have hindered the release of the list, causing concerns for aspiring candidates yet to begin their election campaigns.
Internal struggles, such as the rift between Ayaz Sadiq and Sheikh Rohail Ashgar in Lahore and similar conflicts in Narowal, contribute to the postponement.
PML-N leaders are reportedly resisting seat adjustments with IPP and PML-Q, insisting on prioritizing winning seats.
The party’s decision to give tickets to defectors from PTI has also sparked discontent, with reports of members expressing frustration over seat allocations.
PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif is holding meetings with party leaders to address these issues and discuss election preparations.
