Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan from London on October 21 to lead the party’s political campaign in the upcoming elections, his younger brother and former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif has said in a statement.
The statement came after a meeting of the PML-N’s top leadership headed by Nawaz in London.
Nawaz Sharif—who has been living in self-imposed exile in London since November 2019—was disqualified for life in 2017 by Pakistan Supreme Court for not declaring a receivable salary.
The London meeting was attended by Suleman Shehbaz, Hassan Nawaz, former federal minister Khawaja Asif, Malik Mohammad Ahmed Khan and Nasir Janjua.
The party’s strategy regarding the election, Nawaz’s return and the Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) stance on the elections came under the discussion during the meeting in London.
