Nawaz Sharif's Highly Anticipated Return to Pakistani Politics

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is set to return to Pakistan after four years of voluntary exile in London. Sharif, who heads the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) party, plans to overturn his corruption conviction and lead his party in national elections expected in January 2024. His return is expected to shake up the political landscape in Pakistan, challenging his main rival, Imran Khan. While some see Sharif's return as a farce, others believe he has the backing of the country's powerful military. However, his popularity among the public remains uncertain.
