LONDON: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter, Maryam Nawaz, has made it to the BBC’s 100Women list of political scions alongwithUS President Donald Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump. According to a list of the influential daughters,Maryamwas originally involved in the family's charity organisations and played a prominent role in managing her father's successful reelection campaign in 2013. She now works for his party (PMLN). "She is always the focus of attention," says BBC, adding, “She has clearly emerged as someone powerful, if not a designated political heir to her father." Among others is Sumeyye Erdogan, 31, the youngest daughter of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and widely seen as his favourite. A US and British-educated political scientist, she served as advisor to her father when he led the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and has accompanied him on numerous diplomatic trips. In 2015, there was speculation that Sumeyye might run for a seat in parliament, but in the event she did not. She currently has a lower profile role with a Turkish women's rights advocacy group. Another daughter,with an office of her own in the White House, Ivanka Trump has cemented her status as one of the most powerful women in the Trump administration. In 2015, Yekaterina, the youngest daughter of Russian President Vladimir Putin, emerged into the spotlight after it was revealed she was living in Moscow using the name Katerina Tikhonova. Since then Russians have learned from various media reports that she is married to businessman Kirill Shamalov, the son of one of her father's old friends, and that the couple are worth an estimated $2 billion through investments in the gas and petrochemicals industries. Now aged 30, she runs publicly- funded projects on 'intellectual development' atMoscow State University. She reportedly oversees contracts worth several million dollars and has members of Putin's inner circle as advisers.—INP
