Nawaz

The divided house of the opposition and their internal contradictions give some hope to the PML-N

If successful the removal of Nawaz as party leader will have a profound change on the national political dynamic

Says he will reveal his reasons for not becoming part of the new federal cabinet in a few days

The transition from the prime ministership of Nawaz Sharif to Shahid Khaqan has proceeded without undue disturbance

The choice of Shahid Khaqan Abbasi as interim prime minister appears to be a good replacement

Succession issues and incompetence are the only conspiracies that were at play against the Sharif family

In its history of 70 years, Pakistan has never had a prime minister complete a full term in office

One million people died and 15 million were uprooted from their homes when Pakistan came into being

What no one was talking about in the media was the long-term economic impact of political instability

It is becoming clear that very little has changed in the political landscape notwithstanding the ouster of Nawaz
