Dost Mazari, former Deputy Speaker Punjab Assembly, formally joined Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz on Monday.

Mazari made teh decision after a meeting with Maryam Nawaz and expressed ‘confidence’ in the PMLN’s leadership.

Maryam said that Mazari’s joining would help strengthen the party in South Punjab.

Mazari had been at odds with the PTI since last year and had even been attacked when a vote of no confidence was being cast against Speaker Pervaiz Elahi.
