Mr Sharif returned to Pakistan in October after four years in self-imposed exile in London, evading prison sentences related to corruption charges. Nawaz Sharif’s convictions and sentences were overturned on appeal, providing him with the eligibility to participate in the parliamentary elections scheduled for February 8. Sharif has filed his nominations from National Assembly (NA)-130 Lahore against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) stalwart Dr Yasmin Rashid and 22 other candidates.
