Speaking to reporters in Lahore on Sunday, Riaz said that he was ‘thankful to God’ that Khan’s government had ended.

Riaz also said that the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz will ‘sweep’ Punjab in the upcoming elections.

He added that the PMLN does not have space to adjust more people from other parties and the party does not need to form an alliance with anyone.

However, he said that work was underway for seat adjustments in the province.

Riaz said that it seemed unlikely to him that the Istehkam-e-Pakistan party would make major inroads into Punjab. He added that the IPP does not have an alliance with PMLN.

Riaz was part of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf until he refused to resign along with most of the party after the vote of no-confidence removed Imran Khan from power. He served as opposition leader in the assembly afterwards.

He joined PMLN in September 2023, days after the Pakistan Democratice Movement government ended.
