Summary The meeting will be held in Islamabad.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Chairman of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Raja Zaffarul Haq will chair a meeting of the parliamentary party leaders in Islamabad this afternoon to discuss situation arising out of the Panama Papers case verdict.
The meeting will decide the name of the next leader of the house.
The country has been without a prime minister since the Supreme Court removed Sharif from office Friday, claiming he had not been "truthful and honest."

The verdict plunged Pakistan into political turmoil, although judges asked the country s figurehead president to "ensure continuation of the democratic process."
Political analyst Hasan Askari said that Pakistan’s parliamentary system of government remains unshaken despite the Supreme Court’s ousting of a democratically-elected premier.
"Sharif will bring forward some person from the party. Obviously his personality will not carry as much weight (as Sharif)... But at the moment we can say, the first impact of the judgement has not proved to be destabilising," he said.
With Pakistan just a year away from general elections, the question is whether the country’s opposition parties can capitalise on Sharif’s removal.
