Maryam to remain party's vice president: Pakistan Election Commission

In a relief to Maryam Nawaz, Pakistan's top election body on Tuesday rejected a plea to remove her from the post of vice president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party.

The 45-year-old daughter of jailed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, who founded the party, was appointed on the post by the party in May. Sharif's brother Shehbaz is currently the president of the party.
