Will Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz return to Pakistan to serve their respective 10 and seven year prison sentences? And will their return improve their chances in the upcoming general election on July 25?
The verdict of the dramatic Avenfield case raises many questions. Analysts say it would damage the PML-N's campaign, its vote bank and likely end the party if Nawaz does not come back to Pakistan.
While the verdict is just one challenge facing Nawaz, the future of the party is another with all eyes on Shahbaz.
Nawaz Sharif suffers two setsbacks. One, NAB conviction. Two, Shehbaz Sharif press conference. Its hard to tell which one is more damaging.
