Islamabad (March 13, 2018): Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) Central Executive Committee meeting will elect new president today.
According to the PML-N spokesperson, the CEC meeting will be held in Islamabad today. The meeting will be attended by representatives of PML-N from all four provinces, Islamabad Capital Territory, Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan. 
The representative will elect new president of the party during this meeting. The post fall vacant after the court disqualify Nawaz Sharif.
The Supreme Court of Pakistan on February 21 announced its verdict on petitions challenging the Elections Act 2017, ruling that a person disqualified under Article 62 and 63 cannot serve as the head of a political party.
The decision by the three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Saqib Nisar is considered another blow to the ruling Pakistan Muslim League–Nawaz (PML-N) as Nawaz Sharif will no longer remain the party’s president. As a result of the verdict, all decisions taken by Nawaz Sharif as PML-N’s president stand null and void.
