Raja Riaz Ahmed, the former PTI lawmaker who became the Leader of the Opposition after the Imran Khan-led party resigned from the National Assembly, has now joined the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). 

Raja Riaz met PML-N patron Nawaz Sharif and President Shehbaz Sharif in London recently and announced his decision to join the erstwhile former ruling party.
