Pakistan General Elections 2024

[Sharma Ji]

In India they call it horse trading, the act of poaching reps (MLAs/MPs) from other parties. BJP are experts at it, Noora Ji should contact his mitr Modi Ji for some tips about how to properly go about it. He should convert/absorb them all to Noon league or the coallition would be at risk of being unstable and his govt at risk. Billionaire aadmi hai, buy some PTI people too.

exactly ,even if PTI doesn't deliver you'll still be cool because you supported a cool party and you can blame everyone else. Blame the fauj most convenient

Its not about being cool party. People are just fed up with PMLN establishment-anti establishment stunts. The boom and bust cycle during and after PMLN govt is taking its toll on Pakistanis. Nawaz total political vision is motorways. Shahbaz likes to come up with even weird ideas, danish school, peeli taxi, sasti roti. All of which are done and dusted now, without providing any real benefits to local population.
PPP 15 years in govt and sindh lacks even basic facilities. Theft, cruelty is at its peak. Extreme lawlessness and brutality. Sardars getting away after openly murdering people and then sitting with Bilawl.
With PTI people have a chance to escape this. To escape from electables politics. In my city, PTI announced its candidate one day before election. A nobody, low level party worker. He managed to secure 50k votes against JKT and PMLN's candidate who has been winning for last 35 years.
If PTI failed, people will make sure its out of Pakistani politics forever. But first you'll have to give it one chance without interruption. One 5 year tenure which it deserves after this election.

Latest seat results. PTI needs to join a minor political party ASAP before the Independents jump ship. PTI should stay away from PPP and go in opposition, Zardari will destroy PTI.

Its a tough call in the National Assembly.

The only option is MWM which is a Shia based party.

That will be exploited by PTIs opponents especially in KPK.

PKMAP has offered their party as a catalyst, that's another option, and probably the safer of the two.

Pakiatan needed a strong govt. backed by people to carry out the tough reforms needed over the next two years.

PTI had that mandate winning 179 out of 265 general seats.

Pakiatan Army stepped in on behalf of their Chief and cut down that mandate.

The Army Chief and his fellow cronies did that for self preservation and not for good of the country.

The chain of command glady followed those orders.

The test for the Magnitsky Act. is very difficult to prove. That is why bar a few major cases surrounding genocide and war criminals, it has never been applied to politically sensitive cases.

altered.. fake

Every party in pakistan has some sort of filth.

Not every party is trying to actively protect pedophiles.

So what role in policy should politicians have?

Then do politics really matter or is it just musical chairs where what once seemed impossible was possible only a decade later.

Completely lost what you’re trying to make a point on? I pointed out where PTI failed and where they succeeded in making sure the right people lead good programs.

 

[PakAl]

all pre planned, 60-80 seats have been taken away from PTI.. imran should never join anyone, let establishment pay for their treachery

Seems like it, PTI will be in government with its wings cut off. The news is still not confirmed regarding contacts being established.

Completely lost what you’re trying to make a point on? I pointed out where PTI failed and where they succeeded in making sure the right people lead good programs.

It was a semi-rhetorical question, but the honest core question was this:

If Politicians are incompetent at the nuts and bolts issues, and policy is best made by expert, what role should politicians actually play?

I understand local politicians come from their locales and understand hyper local issues and can be a resource for localities, but above mayor of a city, what role does the establishment actually envision politicians right role?

 

[Olympus81]

What did the Establishment achieve out of all this shenanigans?

More instability. PMLN and PPP lost the elections. What was establishment plan? To blackmail the RO and tamper with the Form 47. Thats one BS of a plan and they exposed themselves badly.

Experience in rigging elections and this is what happened?

Meanwhile the country suffers due to their egos.

PKMAP has offered their party as a catalyst, that's another option, and probably the safer of the two.

I would love to see Panjabi PTI supporters reactions when they see Achakzai's party representing PTI candidates in parliament
That'd be something, PMLN would have a field day with it
So much election campaign content

 

[Olympus81]

Coming to the question, if PTI (IND) are allowed to form government. This still looks very unlikely. They can be shot down on any pretext and then the SC is under their pocket so any appeal can just be thrown out. Maybe they’ll drag this a few more days and tire out the PTI anger and then BAU ie PMLN PPP and hotch potch ruling the country.

If PTI(IND) is allowed to form government they might as well to distant themselves from PPP. If they do then PTI narrative will be done and dusted.

We can give credit to the establishment for creating yet another quagmire out of which Pakistan has to come out of. Thanks guys.
