Amid exuberant calls of vote-rigging and protests seen in the recent elections in Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) is poised to yet again become Prime Minister for a third time – his last two stints at the job were back in the 1990's. Nearly 14 years after being ousted from power by a military coup orchestrated by General Pervez Musharraf, Nawaz Sharif is being called the comeback kid by some political analysts. His main rival, former cricketer turned politician Imran Khan of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI), who many had hoped would breathe fresh life into a corrupt political system failed to mount a sizeable challenge against PML-N. However, Imran Khan was able to win provincial elections in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa making him the most likely nomination for the leader of the opposition in parliament.
