The Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) (Urdu: (پاکستان مسلم لیگ (ن) (abbr. PML-N) is a right-wing and conservative political party in Pakistan. In the 2013 General Elections, it won a landslide victory in the National Assembly. As a result, Nawaz Sharif became the prime minister for the 3rd time. It also is the governing party of Balochistan and Punjab provinces. According to PML(N), Panama Leaks was a conspiracy started by the opposition to "dethrone" Nawaz Sharif from his seat.
One of several continuing factions of the original Muslim League, the party was founded following the 1985 Elections by a conservative politician, Fida Mohammad Khan as Pakistan Muslim League. After President Zia's death in 1988, the party split away from the Junejo-led PML. Soon it formed a conservative alliance with various right-wing and Islamist political parties, known as Islamic Democratic Alliance. The alliance formed a government in 1990 under the leadership of Nawaz Sharif. In 1993, the alliance dissolved and Pakistan Muslim League was re-established, assuming its current shape.
