It's confirmed. Nawaz Sharif is coming next month
Pakistan
PML-N already decided that elder Sharif, his daughter will employ an aggressive approach in election
LONDON (Web Desk) – Nawaz Sharif – the three-time former prime minister who is also the supremo of PML-N – is returning to Pakistan next month after spending four years in exile as the country grapples with economic turmoil and political uncertainty with the date for fresh general elections yet to be decided.
It was Nawaz himself who ended months of speculations after he confirmed the news during a meeting with party leaders and workers in London, albeit without revealing the exact date.
Nawaz had reached London on Nov 19, 2019 as he fell critically ill in prison, allegedly because of an attempt to poison him.
His return is considered critical to the chances of PML-N winning the upcoming elections as the party dented its own chances thanks to rising prices during the 16-month stint of the Shehbaz Sharif-led coalition government.
Earlier, it was reported last month that the PML-N had decided to employ an aggressive strategy in the next general elections, as party sources said the responsibility “to carry out the attack” had been mainly assigned to Maryam Nawaz – the PML-N vice-president known for her hardline stance and considered the ultimate crowd puller after her father who will also be following this approach.
Under this strategy, the PML-N election campaign will revolve around exposing the conspiracies hatched and vendetta faced by the party leaders and targeting some important personalities while sharing secret audio recordings and other documentary proof.
The purpose of this is to explain the factors behind the conspiracies against the elder Sharif and her daughter who doesn’t mince words while explaining her point of view – the factor differentiating their politics with that of Shehbaz who believes in a conciliatory approach.
On the other hand, Shehbaz and his son Hamza Shehbaz – who enjoyed a brief stint as the Punjab chief minister – will focus on pacifying tactic and share the development work carried out by the party during its government tenures, the sources said.
Meanwhile, a comprehensive a campaign would be launched on mainstream and social media before and after the return of elder Sharif who is now scheduled to fly back home in October.
As far as the cooperation with other political parties is concerned, any decision about alliance or seat adjustment would be made by the elder Sharif.
