In pictures: PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif’s homecoming after four years

Three-time PM is primed to make a political comeback ahead of elections

PML-N supremo returned to Pakistan on Saturday after four years of self-imposed exile in London, looking all set to make a political comeback ahead of elections.

“The Election Commission of Pakistan is responsible for announcing the date of elections. My priority is what the ECP will decide. The census has been done and constituencies have to be defined,” he told reporters at Dubai airport. “We are ready for the election.”
