Shehbaz affirms Nawaz Sharif to become PM for fourth time

Pakistan’s former prime minister Shehbaz Sharif reaffirmed on Tuesday, February 13, that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif will become the prime minister for a record fourth time.

The now-74-year-old leader first took power in 1990 but was forced out three years later by corruption allegations—a theme that has dogged his career.

He came to power for the second time in 1997 and held the prime minister’s post till 1999, when he was deposed in a military coup after plotting to sideline army chief of staff Pervez Musharraf.
