A different dynamic April 25, 2021 The PML-N, which over the past seven months has been represented chiefly by Maryam Nawaz and driven forward by the fierce speeches delivered by its Mian Nawaz Sharif, will now once again fall under the leadership of the more subdued Shahbaz Sharif. Shahbaz was released from jail on Friday on bail after a seven-month period in a case concerning money laundering. His presence brings to his own party new questions which need to be handled deftly. The seven months that Shehbaz Sharif spent in jail have seen a transformation of the PDM from a vibrant body of opposition leaders to a lackluster and loose bunch of bickering politicos. That said, his absence did provide Maryam Nawaz a fine opportunity to burnish her skills as a challenger to the ruling party and as an orator of considerable political talent. It may now be a daunting task for him to take the centre stage from Maryam as the differences of personality, persona, and physical health are quite evident and noticeable.
