Geo News PML-N wants Nawaz Sharif to return and lead the country: Ishaq Dar.
Says Nawaz will return following completion of medical treatment.
"He [Nawaz] is the only statesman left according to our analysis."
Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif will be the party’s candidate for prime minister if he returned to the country and contested the upcoming general elections.
“[Prime Minister] Mian Shehbaz Sharif and we all want him to return to the country and lead the country as he is the only statesman left according to our analysis,” the financial czar said while speaking on Geo News' programme Aaj Shahzaib Khanzada Kay Sath on Monday.
Dar said Nawaz, who has been living in London since November 2019 on medical grounds, will return to his home country following the completion of his medical treatment.
“He will return to the country when the party asks him to do so. His medical treatment is pending. He will go to the United Kingdom in the next two or three days and there is also a possibility that he might travel to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah,” he added.
He further said that there is no legal hurdle for the three-time premier — who was disqualified for life in 2017 and subsequently convicted in corruption cases — to participate in elections after parliament recently passed an amended election law limiting public office holder disqualification period to a maximum of five years.
His statement comes a day after Nawaz vowed to bring down inflation in the country if voted to power in the upcoming general elections.
