		<description><![CDATA[In the 2013 elections, the real success of Nawaz Sharif led Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) was in conquering South Punjab.  In keeping with the trends of 2008, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) was expected to do well in the region. PPP had additionally espoused the cause of a separate Siraiki province, whereas PML-N had opposed the creation of new provinces on linguistic basis. It was therefore felt that PML-N will not be able to do well in the region, although, during last elections PML had gained support in Multan, Lodhran, Khanewal, Sahiwal, Dera Ghazi Khan, Layyah and Bahawalpur. Of these, it was most popular in Bahawalpur, as many Punjabi and Mohajir settlers reside there and actively support the Punjabi candidates put up by PML-N.]]></description>
