Position of PML (N) in Pakistan General Election 2018
Regardless of solid criticism of opposition and judiciary on corruption cases that
resulted from Panama papers on PML (N) Leadership, the party still has a positive
change to sweep the Pakistan General elections 2018. Nawaz Sharif has been
disqualified by Supreme Court due to corruption charges, and this is when his daughter
Maryam Nawaz took the charge to become the front face in the upcoming Pakistan Elections.
Pakistan Muslim League did not part up into groups nor did it crumple completely.
It is still to a great extent flawless with the exception of couple of individuals
from parliament who joined PTI. The strong hold of PML-N lies in Central and West
Punjab. The political leaders from Southern Punjab are demanding for the separate
province and it would be a challenge for PMLN to gain votes from the region. Currently,
people are attending their Jalsas and meetings in a significant number.
Position of PTI in Pakistan General Election 2018
The prime opposition party Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf has publicly declared a war
against the rule of corrupt leadership over Pakistan. They are the first ones to
raise the motto of Change (Tabdeeli) and to change the corrupt system and make Naya
Pakistan. The shapes of this change are as yet not engraved forcefully but rather
one thing is sure that inside a brief timeframe they figured out how to get the
creative energy of Pakistani voters. The PML-N ex leader Mian Nawaz Sharif and his
daughter Maryam Nawaz have been criticizing them. PML (N) also blames that Judiciary
and Establishment are on PTI’s side and will assist them in the rigging during the
Pakistan General Election 2018.
