ISLAMABAD: With two days remaining for submission of nomination papers for the presidential election, the PML-N is reported to have narrowed down the list to three candidates.
Senior PML-N leaders told Dawn that former governor of Sindh and party loyalist Mamnoon Hussain was the front-runner followed by PM’s adviser on foreign affairs and national security Sartaj Aziz and former chief justice of Pakistan Justice Saeed-uz-Zaman Siddiqui.
July 24 is the last date for submission of nomination papers in the four provincial capitals and in Islamabad. The polling will be held on August 6.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called Mamnoon Hussain on Monday and informed him that the party was considering his candidature. Mr Hussain confirmed to Dawn that the prime minister had discussed with him his possible nomination as a candidate of the ruling party.
A veteran Muslim Leaguer, Mr Hussain is a graduate of the Institute of Business Administration, Karachi. He remained loyal to the PML-N leadership during the rule of Gen Pervez Musharraf, but later kept a low profile.
Mr Hussain said that soon after he had left the university in the late 60s he was elected joint secretary of the Muslim League in Sindh
