Shehbaz Sharif resigns, advocates for Nawaz Sharif's return

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has resigned from his position as the president of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), a move that has sparked discussions within the party regarding the potential return of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to leadership.

In 2017, Nawaz Sharif was removed as the party president by the Election Commission of Pakistan following corruption convictions. In his resignation letter, Shehbaz Sharif pointed out the challenges faced by the party during Nawaz Sharif's tenure and reaffirmed his dedication to the party's core values.

While acknowledging Nawaz Sharif's legal vindication, Shehbaz Sharif stressed the importance of Nawaz Sharif resuming leadership responsibilities within the party. He also mentioned that post the 2024 General Elections, he is slated to assume the role of Prime Minister, indicating a significant shift in leadership dynamics within the PML-N.

The decision by Shehbaz Sharif to step down as the president of PML-N and advocate for Nawaz Sharif's reinstatement reflects a pivotal moment in the party's trajectory. As the party navigates these leadership transitions, the future political landscape of Pakistan could witness notable transformations.
