    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif is set to kick off his party's election campaign on November 10, as the general elections draw closer.

    Nawaz — who left for London in November 2019 for medical treatment following the Lahore High Court's approval — returned to Pakistan on October 21 after a four-year self-imposed exile in a grand welcome organised by the party at Lahore's Minar-e-Pakistan.

    "We will strengthen judicial institutions if we come into power," the PML-N supremo said, according to sources, while chairing his party's in-person meeting for the first time in four years at his Jati Umra residence today.

    The three-time former prime minister will oversee the party's parliamentary board for distribution of tickets and will also lead the party's election campaign via his countrywide tours.

    Separately, speaking to the media PML-N's General Secretary Ashan Iqbal said: "It is our wish that Nawaz Sharif becomes the country's next prime minister".

    "Nawaz Sharif was ousted from electoral politics via an orchestrated conspiracy and false cases," he added.
