A recent legislative development has significant implications for Nawaz Sharif and Jahangir Tareen, the leader of the Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP). Acting President Sadiq Sanjrani approved the Elections Act (Amendment) Bill, 2023, which sets the period of disqualification for public office at five years. This change in law benefits both Nawaz Sharif and Jahangir Tareen, who were previously disqualified for life by the Supreme Court ahead of the 2018 general elections. The amendment clarifies that disqualification under Article 62 of the Constitution will not exceed five years, providing a path for their potential return to public service.
