KM ANLAHORE, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistan's former premier Nawaz Sharif was reelected president of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-N party on Tuesday. He last held the position in 2017, when he was forced out of office amid corruption allegations.
The PML-N came into power with the Feb. 8 elections that Sharif's key rival, former premier Imran Khan, alleged were rigged. Sharif’s younger brother, Shehbaz Sharif, now leads a coalition government and Sharif is a member of Parliament.
Nawaz Sharif was ousted from power in 2017 when the Supreme Court disqualified him from holding any public office over concealing financial assets, a charge Sharif denies. His conviction and sentences were overturned last year, allowing him to hold any public or party office.
Sharif returned to Pakistan in October from , where he went in 2019 for medical treatment when Khan was in power.
ousted through a no-confidence vote in 2022 and is serving multiple prison terms.
