Election 2013 Pakistan has been a mixed bag. Although turn out of youth was a massive one as country observed above 60% turn out first time in its history but the news of rigging has also been intense more than usual. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf for the first time emerged as a new popular political party. Muslim League (N) dominated Punjab and is favourites to make government in centre and in Punjab. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf will be making provincial government in the province of Khyber Pukhtunkhwa. The ruling party Pakistan Peoples’ Party Parliamentarians are likely to make a government in Sindh while Balochistan is yet to be decided. This election shows the rise of a majority of new and young candidates as well as the fall of quite a few veteran politicians.
Some of the major upsets include the loss of Awami National Party’s chief Asfandiyar Wali, Ghulam Ahmad Bilour, Firdous Ashiq Awan, Dr. Arbab Alamgir, Hanif Abbasi and many more.
Karachi and Lahore made it to the news big time for rigging and despite many proofs based on different mediums, Election Commission of Pakistan was unable to take strong steps and as usual the issues are pending or discarded. This role of ECP was not appreciated by many people all across the country and rigging in elections is still pretty much a question mark.
