Her appointment was challenged by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which had expressed its reservations. The then Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi had questioned how a person, who has been sentenced by a court, can be appointed as a Vice President.

Maryam Nawaz has been highly active in running the party’s election campaigns and holding public gatherings in different cities.

Currently, she is in the United Kingdom with her father, PML-N supremo and former Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, Geo News reported.
