GUJRAT -  The masses have once again reposed trust in the leadership of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif by voting for the PML-N candidate in Lodran by-election to victory.

The victory of Peer Iqbal Shah is, in fact, the rejection of negative politics, said PML-N leader Aurangzaib Butt here Wednesday.

In a press statement, he congratulated the PML-N leadership Nawaz Sharif, Shehbaz, Maryam Nawaz and Hamza Shehbaz over the by-poll victory.

He pointed out that those who were talking about minus formula should now consider the result of the by-election.

He hoped that the PML-N would clean sweep the upcoming 2018 elections as people of Pakistan are united under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif and Shehbaz Sharif.
