Kulsoom became the first lady of Pakistan for the first time after her husband, Nawaz Sharif, became Prime Minister of Pakistan on 1 November 1990 when his party, Islami Jamhoori Ittehad, won 104 of 207 seats contested in the 1990 Pakistani general election.[13] His first term as prime minister ended in July 1993.[14]

She became first lady of Pakistan for the second time after Nawaz Sharif became Prime Minister of Pakistan when his party, Pakistan Muslim League (N), won the 1997 Pakistani general election.[13] His second term as prime minister was ended when then Chief of Army Staff General Pervez Musharraf led a military coup d'état against him on 12 October 1999.[14] Kulsoom was arrested by the Pakistan Army Corps of Military Police and immediately shifted to her local residence.[6] According to her daughter, Maryam Nawaz, Kulsoom "dauntlessly challenged the usurper when a lot of men backed out". Nawaz Sharif named his wife as the President of Pakistan Muslim League in 1999.[10][6]

In 2000, she led a public rally from Lahore to Peshawar to gather the public support for the PML-N.[1] Soon after leaving her residence, her car was surrounded by the police and she was detained.[15]

The NA-120 seat fell vacant after her husband, Nawaz Sharif, was disqualified by the Supreme Court of Pakistan in the Panama Papers case.[18]

She was unable to take oath as member of the National Assembly due to her illness.[19]

She was known for maintaining a low profile.[1]
