Ex-PM Nawaz Sharif Flying Home Today After Four Years of Exile to Lead PML-N Election Campaign
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is flying home today, October 21, 2023, after four years of self-imposed exile. He is returning to lead his party, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), in the upcoming general elections.
Sharif was ousted from power in a 2018 coup and was later sentenced to 10 years in prison on corruption charges. He went into exile in London in 2019 after being released from prison on medical grounds.
Sharif's return to Pakistan is a major political development. He is one of the most popular and influential politicians in the country, and his PML-N is the largest opposition party. His return is also seen as a challenge to the military, which has played a dominant role in Pakistani politics for decades.
Sharif has said that he is returning to Pakistan to "serve the people" and to "restore democracy." He has also vowed to hold the military accountable for its role in his ouster from power.
Sharif's return is expected to boost the PML-N's chances in the upcoming elections. The party is already leading in the opinion polls, and Sharif's presence is likely to further solidify its position.
However, Sharif's return is also likely to deepen the political divisions in Pakistan. He remains a controversial figure, and his opponents are likely to attack him for his corruption convictions and his close ties to India.
It is unclear what role Sharif will play in the PML-N's election campaign. He has said that he will not run for office himself, but he is expected to play a key role in mobilizing his supporters.
Sharif's return to Pakistan is a significant event for the country. It will be interesting to see how his return will impact the upcoming elections and the future of Pakistani politics.
