Nawaz Sharif has been a fugitive since he failed to appear before a Pakistan court in 2019
Pakistan’s former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is returning home on a special flight from Dubai, ending four years of self-imposed exile as he seeks to win the support of voters ahead of parliamentary elections due in January.
He said he wished the situation in the country had improved in his absence. He left Pakistan in 2019, two years after he stepped down after being convicted in a graft case. Mr Sharif’s comments came two days after a federal court in Pakistan granted several days of protection from arrest to Mr Sharif in graft cases, clearing the way for him to return home from self-imposed exile in London.
Mr Sharif was convicted in 2018 and sentenced to 10 years in prison in a corruption case involving purchases of luxury apartments in London.
