Acknowledging the situation, Nawaz Sharif instructed the local leadership in Murree to work towards ending their internal disputes.

The decision regarding the party ticket for Murree will be finalized after recommendations from the parliamentary board, and Nawaz Sharif will have the ultimate say in the matter, according to party sources.
