Maryam Nawaz, who made history on Monday after being elected the first female chief minister (CM) of Pakistan from Punjab, unveiled her vision for the next five years, with vowing to chalk out plan for consumers using less than 300 units of electricity, VOS reported.
The PML-N vice president, who made her parliamentary debut this year after winning the Feb 8 general elections from PP-159, achieved a landslide victory against the opposition’s Rana Aftab Ahmad, obtaining all of the 220 votes in Punjab Assembly.
Her opponent, Sunni Council Ittehad’s (SIC) candidate Rana Aftab Ahmad, did not get any votes as the party boycotted the elections after they were stopped from speaking.
In an hour-and-a-half-long victory speech, Maryam Nawaz hoped to rise above the political polarisation to serve Punjab, assuring that she will resolve the issues of her opponents’ constituencies regardless of their party affiliation.
She pointed out that her party had developed an “extensive and comprehensive” agenda for the province, which would be implemented from today.
Maryam’s vision
Maryam Nawaz stated that the PML-N’s key objectives during her tenure would be the provision of employment, education and healthcare.
