  • Colin Cookman1 June 4, 2018
    PREVIEWING PAKISTAN’S 2018 ELECTIONS Colin Cookman1 June 4, 2018 PREVIEWING PAKISTAN’S 2018 ELECTIONS SUMMARY • Pakistani voters are set to go the polls later this summer to take part in the eleventh nationwide general elections in the country’s history. The elections will only be the second transition from a full-term civilian-elected government to a successor in the country’s history. Uncertainty over the outcome remains high; to date, no national government has been elected to a second consecutive term. • After starting its tenure in 2013 with a ruling majority, the outgoing government led by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) left office with its eponymous chief, Nawaz Sharif, embroiled in multiple legal battles and disqualified by the courts from holding elected or party office. His brother, Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif, must now lead the party into elections while countering defections, managing succession strains, and balancing intra-party disputes over how forcefully to confront the judiciary and military establishment in response to Nawaz’s disqualification. • While the PML-N’s tenure saw comparatively higher levels of macroeconomic growth, conditions in its final years in office — including decelerating remittances, rising international oil prices, weakening exports and diminishing currency reserves, among other factors — may undercut the party’s efforts to portray itself as an effective steward of Pakistan’s economic development during the upcoming campaign period. • The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), led by former cricket star Imran Khan, has sought to bounce back from 2013 electoral losses through persistent challenges to the PML-N government, including mass street protests, legal petitions, and allegations of corruption.

  • In May 2013, Pakistan Held Landmark National Elections. for the First Time in the Country's Post-Independence History a Govern
    Civil-Military Relations in Post 2013 Pakistan Abstract In May 2013, Pakistan held landmark national elections. For the first time in the country’s post-independence history a government had served its full-term in office and was removed not at the point of a bayonet, but through defeat at the ballot box. Despite inheriting challenging economic and security legacies, commentators saw the return to power of Nawaz Sharif for the third time as representing the opportunity for further democratic consolidation and the rebalancing of civil-military relations. Two and a half years later, these expectations have failed to materialise as the army has entrenched itself further in the political process. This paper will provide both a theoretical and historical context for these contemporary developments. In the course of its analysis, it will reflect on Pakistan’s political culture, and the institutional barriers to consolidating democracy. It will conclude with a brief reflection on Pakistan’s future democratic prospects. In May 2013, Pakistan held landmark national elections. For the first time in the country’s post-independence history a government had served its full-term in office and was removed not at the point of a bayonet, but through defeat at the ballot box. Despite inheriting challenging economic and security legacies, commentators saw the return to power of Nawaz Sharif for the third time as representing an opportunity for the rebalancing of civil-military relations which would consolidate democracy in Pakistan. Nawaz Sharif had first emerged on the political scene in the 1980s as a protégé of the former Zia martial law regime in alliance with the Islami Jamhoori Ittehad( IJI).
