Despite Friday’s damning Supreme Court verdict against the now ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif, the former first daughter Maryam Nawaz has expressed full confidence in her father and his Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz’s political future.

Maryam took to Twitter hours after the Supreme Court of Pakistan disqualified Nawaz from the premiership for not declaring income he earned as an executive at Dubai-based Capital FZE on a monthly salary of AED 10,000 while he served as the prime minister of Pakistan. The apex court also ordered the National Accountability Bureau to file references against the Sharif family.

Today will pave the way for Nawaz Sharif's resounding victory in 2018. He will be unstoppable. Insha'Allah. Rok sakte ho to rok lo !

While consoling dejected PML-N supporters on the micro-blogging site, Maryam also said that the party was more united than ever.
