ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday congratulated the PML-N candidate Rana Tahir on winning the by election for the Punjab Assembly seat PP-139 in Sheikhupura.
The victory of the PML-N candidate in PP-139-Sheikhupura by election reflects the public’s trust in the party’s policies, the prime minister said in a statement issued by the PM Office.
