Months before the next general elections, which are anticipated to take place in early 2024, he made his comeback.

As Sharif returned to Pakistan from London, he gave a press conference in Dubai. Claiming that his party is “competent enough” to steer the country out of trouble, he stated he was going back to Pakistan after “vindication.”
Nawaz Sharif then departed for Lahore, arriving at 5 pm. Shehbaz Sharif, his younger brother and the previous prime minister, along with other party leaders met him at the airport.
From there, he took a helicopter to Minar-e-Pakistan, the location of the PML-N’s welcome-meeting huge rally. He was accompanied by Shehbaz Sharif and Ishaq Dar, a former federal minister.
After landing on a designated helipad at the Diwan-e-Khaas next to the Lahore Fort, Nawaz Sharif was driven in a convoy of cars to Minar-e-Pakistan.
