Promises to fulfill his commitments

Islamabad, May 12: After yesterday’s historic polls, Pakistan is heading to what is termed as a “landmark achievement for the country” where a democratic government would hand over power to another elected government.
The transition of power is likely to take place within a couple weeks. However owing to the fractured-mandate delivered by the masses (electorate) none of the party is in position to form the government on its own.
Mian Nawaz Sharif, whose party Pakistan Muslim League (N) made a stunning comeback in the Saturday’s elections, is set to lead the country for the third time. Sharif has invited all the political parties for a dialogue to form the government in the centre.
During his first post-election speech, the PML-N chief while thanking the nation for “reposing trust in him and his party”, said that despite many challenges his party would make all efforts to “steer the country out of the current crises.”
The former chief minister of Punjab, Shahbaz Sharif on the occasion, said that Nawaz Sharif would be the next prime minister of the country.
Meanwhile, many upsets were witnessed in yesterday’s elections as many heavy-weights belonging to different political parties failed to make a comeback after being rejected by the people who had voted them in 2008 elections. Of those former Prime Minister Raja Parvez Ashraf was defeated by the PML-N candidate by a huge margin. Former deputy prime minister and central leader of Pakistan Muslim League (Q) Pervaiz Elahi was defeated by his rival candidate from Chakwal and former federal minister and leader of Awami National Party Ghulam Ahmed Billor received a huge defeat and was knocked down by the PTI Chairman Imran Khan from his home constituency in Peshawar. Similarly the PTI leader and former foreign Minister of Pakistan Shah Mehmood Qureshi lost his seat from Multan which was won by PML-N candidate Abdul Ghaffar Dogar. PPP central leader and former federal minister for information and broadcasting Qamar Zaman Qaira, former Kashmir Affairs Minister Mian Manzoor Watto, Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan, former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s two sons failed to make their comeback in the elections.
