Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, a prominent figure in the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), is preparing to leave for London on November 5, accompanied by her father, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. The visit will commence from Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport with a brief stopover in Dubai. Although the primary reason behind their London visit remains unspecified, sources within the PML-N suggest it may be a routine checkup for Nawaz, as he often travels to London for medical purposes. He is expected to stay in London for two days before continuing to the United States for further engagements, while Maryam may remain in the UK.
Senator Irfan Siddiqui, a close aide to Nawaz Sharif, hinted that the former prime minister’s visits for health checkups are regular and part of a recurring medical schedule. However, the timing of this visit has sparked speculations, given the upcoming general elections in Pakistan. Analysts see it as a potential opportunity for the PML-N leadership to discuss critical party matters, including election strategy and international relations, with members of the Pakistani diaspora in the UK.
This trip follows a series of high-profile meetings within Pakistan’s political sphere, as the country prepares for the upcoming polls. Observers suggest that Maryam’s presence in London might also allow her to meet with various political allies and party officials, aligning her provincial governance agenda with broader party goals at the national level
