The document discusses politics and elections in Pakistan. It notes that Pakistan has 262 registered political parties and an autonomous election commission. The three largest national parties are PPP, PML-N, and PTI. A group called FAFEN advocates for educated voters and responsible democracy, but their results have been poor. Some political parties and leaders have changed, such as Dr. Khan's party dissolving and Begum Nasim forming a new one. Universities and media are working to develop a desirable political system at the grassroots level, and FAFEN should expand its network effectively. The political destination of Pakistan appears to be a two-party system.

1. Fair Opinion
Values
Pakistan is a mainstream democracy
with 262 registered political parties.
Constitutionally autonomous Election
Commission of Pakistan has been
strengthening democratic process
under technical and financial
constraints. There is holiday on the
polling day so that voters could easily
cast their votes to the favorite
candidates.
In the world particularly in Pakistan,
politics is a serious business. Political
parties and leaders develop their
manifestoes and run mass media
campaigns to help formulating well-
informed opinion of voters. Results of
general elections 2013 show that PPP,
PML-N and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
have emerged as the leading national-
level popular political parties.
Forty two members of Free and
Fair Election Network have
been advocating for educated
voters and responsible
democracy in the country but
results are quite poor. Do
people get positive value by
casting their votes? It may be a
complex question for analysts
and experts. Lately Dr. Khan’s
party, Tehreek Tahafuz
Pakistan, has been dissolved
whereas Begum Nasim Wali has
formed new political party,
ANP-Wali.
Universities and media
organizations have obtained
deeper electoral insight to
develop the desirable political
system for socio-economic
wellbeing at the grassroots
level. FAFEN must expand its
network with speed and
effectiveness. Developed
countries are allocating their
taxpayers’ income through
donors to non government
organizations. We should honor
their contribution on merit.
Everyone knows that political
destination of Pakistan is two-
party political system.
