Nawaz to return to Pakistan next month, says Shehbaz
LONDON (Dunya News) – Former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif Friday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif would return to Pakistan in October.
The PML-N leadership announced the return of former PM after holding a huddle in London.
“Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan in October and lead the election campaign,” the former prime minister told the media alongside his elder brother.
Reports are doing the rounds that Sharif had rescheduled his visit to Pakistan and was likely to return on Oct 15.
Earlier, he decided not to return to the country in September - a decision which was taken at a meeting with former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif in London. It was decided that Nawaz would delay his return until a later date.
Additionally, it had been suggested that Nawaz Sharif might consider returning to Pakistan in either October or November, particularly in light of the upcoming general elections scheduled for February next year.
Both the PML-N leaders discussed party's political strategy and the overall political situation in the country.
