Political scenario

Fahim Akhtar


Election is abuzz with full throttle, focused for the decisive day of 11 May, which will give factual verdicts for the claims of political parties and confirmation to authenticity of surveys coming in recent past before us time to time grading people and parties to the levels of like and favoritism.

This time elections are indifferent – two major parties PPP and PML N seems not contesting for the legislative houses in same zeal as it was in past but it looks to be engagement of PTI with PML N as an alternative to PPP. Except for some melody on private channel broadcasted in paid content depicting sacrifices of their deceased leaders already in heaven, PPP seems to be either very confident in holding their stakes or their whole campaign is in doldrums. Both possibilities can not be ruled out taking into account traditional Sindhi vote bank in cache of party always representing the interior portion of province under a shelter a single flag traditionally. Indeed, it remains a fact that party needs a vanguard figure to lead at this significant stage failing in that Functional League and Nationalist representation may give a serious set back.

PML N is an optimist party now while apparent environment is supporting them but PTI can really turns the table if Imran Khan is success full in bringing claimed and dreamed Tsunami during Election Day. The case in wholesome is going to be different all over the canvas. A large number of veteran voters are at the verge of defection from their old association of political parties owing to varied reasons. Such as, gradual loss of confidence by voters in Traditional Two political parties, awareness acquired through time, experience and media in significance of vote and election and nonetheless people want to experience affect of CHANGE now. Many feels that changed claimed is change far fetched even if PTI comes into power, as party is controlled by same old faces that were earlier part of famous TWO.

Elections are offering infertile landscape to a few parties currently while they are being targeted during their access to people. These parties are blaming for pre poll rigging against them. In mega city – MQM seems to be set in grabbing all cards intact except for some uphill task in NA 250.Lady representative Khushbakht Shujaat may see tough time by triumph card used by Jamat in the shape of ex City Nazim Naimatullah and even one odd other candidates. Delimitation, rural – urban migration from interior Sind, alliance by many against one and Tsunami is a cause of concern for Altaf Hussain and his team. Elections are important for ANP and JUP in confirming their claims of their mainstream political parties. PML Q seems sitting on sinking ship as many have already defected and loyalties of those even wins not assured.

Reality remains that predicting results precisely now is complex and tricky and cruel game of politics may bring surprises this time also. It all depends on mind set of voter and how candidates go to them in last minute campaign. Another factor in deciding the real consensus will be security and law and order environment – vote not used may affect the real portrait of results.

Whatsoever domino effect comes it looks that will remain a puzzle prized hundred thousand dollar to decide ruling and opposition benches this time again. Intricate, alliances and opposition will remain feature of post election days. Point is how far democracy brings opulence and prosperity for people will be gauged in time to come.
