Earlier this week, Maryam Nawaz was appointed as the party's senior vice president.
The decision was approved by PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif who also appointed Maryam as the party's "chief organiser" and tasked her with the "restructuring" and "reorganisation" of the party at "all levels".
Additionally, party supremo Nawaz Sharif was named the lifetime “Quaid” (leader) by amendments to the party’s constitution.
In view of the proposed amendment, the PML-N and its president, PM Shehbaz, would be required to follow the instructions of the party’s “Quaid” on certain issues.
