Musharraf told hundreds of cheering supporters that the best way to deal with Pakistan’s political and economic troubles is to bring his party to power.
He says there is a need to ”bring all patriotic people under one flag, that flag should be the All Pakistan Muslim League.”
Since he stepped down in 2008 under an impeachment threat and protests, Musharraf has been living in Britain, home to some 1 million people of Pakistani descent.

Talking to participants, Pervez Musharraf said, "On this historic day, I announce to join politics and become part of APML." He said that he decided to join politics because there was no politician in Pakistan to get the country out of multiple challenges.
He said that the country progressed under his 9 year rule, but he admitted that he committed some political mistakes. He forwarded his apology on those mistakes, saying that 'to error is human, to forgive divine.' He said that he will inform the nation after his comeback about the reasons due to which he committed all the mistakes. He said, "Pakistan is our country, it is the most beautiful country, it is precious, and we are nothing without this country, that's why I used to say 'Sab se pehlay Pakistan.'" "Today, Pakistan is facing a number of challenges, and it is calling us for security, now it is our duty to save our beloved country," he added. He said that All Pakistan Muslim League will fight against poverty, illiteracy and unemployment.
He said, "Pakistan was achieved to have social, economic and religious freedom. But people are being deprived of their rights and the rich are using laws for their interests."
He said that party manifesto would be comprised of three documents; first the Quran Pak, second the address of Quaid-e-Azam on August 11, 1947, and third document would be Objectives Resolution of Liaqat Ali Khan.
He said that local body system would be restored and 'family' politics would be ended. He said that civil service would be reformed restructuring the government. He said that all people, women and men, would have equal rights. He said that nepotism and corruption would be ended and merit would be promoted. Electricity and water would be available to everyone, and food would be provided to everyone. He said that women education would be top priority. He said that Pakistan's sovereignty would not be compromised, it would be saved from internal and external threats.
The former president said he will raise the GDP up to 6 percent. He said that Pakistan has capacity of producing 19000 MW power. He said that eradication of terrorists was vital for the progress of the country.
