Shahbaz Sharif will be the next PM of Pakistan in the event the PML-N wins the elections, former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said on Tuesday.

Abbasi said that, but then immediately dulled his own statement by adding that the final decision will still be made with consensus in the party after election results are announced.

The Airblue founder also denied that there exists a split in the party at the top level, and also discussed the whole Chaudhry Nisar ticket saga.
