Toppled in a 1999 military coup,
jailed and exiled, Pakistan's Nawaz Sharif has made a triumphant election
comeback and is certain to become the Prime Minister for a third time. The
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has taken an unassailable lead in the
landmark elections with its main rivals — former cricketer Imran Khan's
Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) and the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) — trailing
far behind.
Like all good batsmen, Nawaz
Sharif, who fancied himself as a cricketer of some standing when he was
young, always seems to have enough time to play his political shots. When
the voting began on Saturday, he spent his time relaxing at his Raiwind
farmhouse rarely enquiring about the turnout at various booths.
