LAHORE (Dunya News) – With the official announcement of the election date, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is gearing up to campaign across Pakistan, starting next week.
The three-time prime minister returned to Islamabad in October after spending four years in self-imposed exile in London.
Upon his return, Nawaz addressed a massive crowd of PML-N workers and supporters in his hometown, Lahore, where he reaffirmed his deep affection for the Pakistani people.
He prioritised national prosperity over the desire for revenge, and vowed to deliver Pakistan from its economic afflictions.
His party, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, is confident that it can win the upcoming general elections, and Nawaz Sharif aims to serve as Pakistan's prime minister for a fourth term.
His presence in Pakistan has revitalised the party and boosted the confidence of its rank and file.
Having already set the party's tone for the upcoming elections in his powerful address during the Lahore rally on October 21, the former prime minister is now set to formally flex his muscles, starting next week.
According to sources within the PML-N, Nawaz Sharif will embark on a whirlwind tour of all four provinces, commencing with a public rally in Mansehra after November 10.
He is also scheduled to hold meetings with leaders of other political parties.
