Nawaz Sharif's anticipated return sparks political buzz, but uncertainty looms in the months ahead

Firstpost  

Former prime minister and head of the Pakistan Muslim League is due to return to the country on 21 October. Nawaz Sharif’s coming back has to be seen in the context of the Pakistan Election Commission’s decision to hold general elections is January though it has not announced any dates as yet. The Peoples Democratic Movement which formed the Shehbaz Sharif government in April 2022 after the ouster of prime minister Imran Khan has broken up. The fundamental fact of Pakistan’s contemporary national life is that army chief General Asim Munir and former Prime Minister Imran Khan are at daggers drawn. Thus, while Nawaz Sharif’s return will give an impetus to the political processes and his actions will be closely watched it is not certain how precisely events will unfold in the next couple of months.
