Pakistan’s ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has returned to the country from his self-imposed exile in London, ready to lead his party’s campaign for the upcoming election. Sharif is targeting former premier Imran Khan as his main rival. Despite being disqualified from running for public office due to his convictions, Sharif plans to appeal and is aiming to become prime minister for the fourth time. His biggest challenge will be regaining his support base from Khan, who remains popular despite being in jail. Pakistan is currently experiencing an economic crisis, with rising inflation and low growth rates. Sharif’s return is seen as an opportunity to address the country’s economic challenges. However, his relationship with the military, which holds significant power in Pakistani politics, will also play a crucial role in his political future.
