- Sharif's return and the restoration of his appeals is seen as a step towards ending injustice and progressing the country. His party has welcomed the court order, and analysts predict that it could lead to their return to power.
- Sharif's convictions and exile came after being replaced by Imran Khan in 2018, who is currently imprisoned on corruption charges. Sharif's party has now appointed him to lead their election campaign ahead of parliamentary elections.
