The elder Sharif reached the PML-N secretariat with his daughter and party’s senior vice president Maryam Nawaz. According to sources, a special office has been made for Nawaz Sharif in the central secretariat as the former PM is all set to start his political activities this week. Anusha Rehman, former federal minister and in-charge of PML-N secretariat, would give detailed briefing to former premier regarding the working of different departments in the party office.

 According to sources, Nawaz Sharif would chair an important meeting today regarding the issuance of party tickets for the general elections. Senior PML-N leaders including party President Shehbaz Sharif, Kh Asif and Sardar Ayaz Sadiq also reached Model Town to attend the meeting. It merits mention here that Nawaz Sharif is gearing up to campaign across Pakistan next week.

The three-time prime minister returned to Islamabad last month after spending four years in self-imposed exile in London. Upon his return, Nawaz addressed a massive crowd of PML-N workers and supporters in his hometown, Lahore, where he reaffirmed his deep affection for the Pakistani people.

He prioritised national prosperity over the desire for revenge, and vowed to deliver Pakistan from its economic afflictions. His party, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, is confident that it can win the upcoming general elections, and Nawaz Sharif aims to serve as Pakistan's prime minister for a fourth term. According to sources within the PML-N, Nawaz Sharif will embark on a whirlwind tour of all four provinces, commencing with a public rally in Mansehra after November 10. He is also scheduled to hold meetings with leaders of other political parties.
