Ahead of a byelection in the Lahore seat of Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan's ousted Prime Minister, a group of female party workers were this week invited to debrief his daughter, Maryam, on their doorstepping campaign.
"The silver lining to Mr Sharif's disqualification," said one, after several minutes of exuberant whooping and chanting, "is that we now have you".
Maryam Sharif, 43, has taken control of the campaign to keep the constituency in family hands after the official candidate, her mother Kulsoom, was diagnosed with cancer.
Though she has never held political office, Maryam Sharif is credited by senior officials with pulling her father's party to the left on social policy and women's rights.
This weekend's vote will give an indication as to the level of support retained by the Sharif dynasty following the Supreme Court judgment in July that ruled Sharif unfit to hold office.
