Tracing PPP’s decline to PML-N’s ascent
19 Nov 2023  |  www.thenews.com.pk  |  English  |  Politics
The political landscape of Balochistan is experiencing a shift as the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), led by Nawaz Sharif, gains support at the expense of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). The PPP's historical influence in the region is waning, with key political figures switching allegiance to the PML-N. The PPP's focus on federal power rather than local issues is seen as a disconnect from the needs of Balochistan's people. The party is attempting to reassert its presence with its 56th Foundation Day meeting in Quetta, but faces challenges in maintaining relevance and addressing the province's pressing issues.

NAB Laws: Has Accountability Ever Been An End Goal In Pakistan?
24 Jun 2022  |  The Friday Times  |  English  |  Corruption
Brigadier (retd) Musaddiq Abbasi revealed plans to conclude corruption cases against politicians by December 2022, potentially affecting the next general elections in Pakistan. The PML-N-led government amended NAB laws to prevent disqualification, which the author criticizes as a move to weaken accountability. The article discusses historical instances of political purges and accountability being used to suppress opposition, drawing parallels with current events. The author, Hamraz Sarwani, an independent analyst and teacher at Bahria University, argues that true accountability has not been the end goal in Pakistan's political landscape, but rather a means to consolidate power.

A long way to go: in revolution’s wake, questions linger over direction of the new Bangladesh
19 Sept 2024  |  the Guardian  |  English  |  Bangladesh Politics
Following the collapse of Sheikh Hasina's regime, Bangladesh is undergoing a significant political transition led by an interim government headed by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus. The revolution, sparked by university students and supported by various societal groups, has led to a temporary government tasked with implementing democratic reforms. Despite optimism, challenges remain, including economic instability, the need for institutional reforms, and concerns over the interim government's duration. The Bangladesh National Party, poised to gain power in future elections, supports the transition but is wary of prolonged interim governance. The situation remains fluid, with potential for unrest if reforms stall.

Membership of Members Elected on Reserved Seats Suspended, Importance of Sunni Ittehad Council Increases
11 May 2024  |  وی او اے  |  Urdu  |  Legislative Affairs
The Supreme Court of Pakistan's recent decision led to the suspension of 27 members elected on reserved seats in the Punjab Assembly. This decision impacts the National Assembly and other provincial assemblies, with potential shifts in political power dynamics. The Sunni Ittehad Council's reserved seats were previously allocated to other parties, but the Supreme Court's ruling could restore these seats, significantly altering the balance of power. If the Sunni Ittehad Council gains these seats, it could challenge the ruling coalition's two-thirds majority in both the National Assembly and the Senate, complicating constitutional amendments. The federal government seeks a two-thirds majority to amend judicial appointment procedures and other constitutional provisions, but this goal may be unattainable without the Sunni Ittehad Council's support.

Doctors say Khaleda Zia may die if not sent abroad for treatment

Khaleda Zia, former Prime Minister of Bangladesh and opposition leader, is at imminent risk of death due to cirrhosis of the liver and other illnesses, according to her medical team. Despite her critical condition, the government has denied her permission to seek medical treatment abroad. Zia's party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, has been protesting for a neutral caretaker government to oversee the next general election, alleging that the ruling Awami League, led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, has manipulated past elections. A U.S. delegation is in Bangladesh to assess pre-election conditions amid concerns over the country's electoral climate and human rights record.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak warned that the province would not allow the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) to pass through if it did not receive its due share.

He emphasized the importance of the western route of the CPEC for the province's development and called for unity among political leaders to secure provincial rights. Other political leaders echoed his sentiments, stressing the need for equitable development and the crucial role of CPEC in rehabilitating the province affected by terrorism.

Indian-ruled Kashmir election officials report over 50% turnout

In the first legislative elections in Jammu and Kashmir in a decade, over 56% voter turnout was reported. The elections, held under tight security, are seen as a contest between the BJP and the local populace, following the revocation of the region's autonomy in 2019. Local political parties, including the National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party, are criticized for not uniting against the BJP. The dissolved Peoples Alliance for Gupkar Declaration is mentioned as a missed opportunity for regional unity. A delegation of foreign diplomats visited the region, drawing criticism from former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah. The third phase of elections is scheduled for October 1.

A devastating suicide attack on a JUI-F party gathering in Khar, Pakistan, resulted in 54 deaths and around 200 injuries.

Sindh Hopes Mangrove Project Can Balance CO2 Emissions, Obtain Carbon Credit Revenue Worth Billions

The Sindh government has expanded its mangrove restoration project, Delta Blue Carbon (DBC), aiming to restore 450,000 hectares of mangroves in the Indus Delta by 2030. This initiative is expected to generate significant foreign direct investment and billions in carbon credit revenue. The project addresses climate change, supports local communities, and enhances the fishing industry. However, it faces opposition from nationalist groups concerned about water diversion and its impact on agriculture and livelihoods. The project is projected to capture substantial CO2 emissions, contributing to Pakistan's carbon offsetting efforts.

Fight against Islamic terror may help Sheikh Hasina retain power
13 Dec 2018  |  Big News Network.com  |  English  |  Economic Development
Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's strong stance against violent extremism and her government's socio-economic achievements are key factors that may help her retain power. The Awami League's zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism, including the prosecution of Jamaat-e-Islami leaders, has garnered public support. Despite a relatively united opposition, the economic growth and infrastructure projects under Hasina's leadership, such as the Padma River railroad bridge, bolster her position. The political landscape is dominated by the rivalry between Hasina and Khaleda Zia, with the latter facing significant legal challenges. Young voters will play a crucial role in the upcoming elections.

Pakistan is on the verge of electing its third successive government amid efforts to ensure a fair and transparent general election. Despite a bomb attack in Baluchistan, voter turnout is high. Imran Khan's PTI is leading in pre-election surveys, while PML-N faces setbacks due to the conviction of Nawaz Sharif. PPP is expected to perform well in Sindh, and a coalition government may form if no party secures a majority. Radical Islamist parties are unlikely to win substantial seats, except possibly in Punjab.

The newly established Human Rights Directorate (HRD) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is facing significant challenges due to a shortage of staff and financial resources. Despite its mandate to address human rights violations, the HRD's effectiveness is hampered by minimal outreach, lack of coordination with other public bodies, and political interference. The provincial government has not allocated sufficient funds for the HRD's operations, leading to a lack of awareness campaigns and citizen engagement. Various stakeholders, including human rights activists and government officials, have expressed concerns about the HRD's ability to fulfill its mission without adequate support.

Anti-PPP alliance in Sindh may not be heading for a smooth sail

Political parties in Sindh, including PML-N, MQM-P, GDA, ANP, and JUI-F, are discussing a joint electoral strategy against the PPP for the upcoming general elections. However, internal differences and individual interests are hindering the formation of a formal alliance. Despite several meetings and the formation of a committee to expedite talks, no tangible developments have occurred. Each party is focused on securing its interests in various constituencies, with the PML-N and MQM-P unable to agree on a joint candidate for the Baldia Town constituency. GDA leaders have revealed that they were encouraged to form an alliance against the PPP's rule in Sindh, but internal disagreements within the GDA have arisen. The ANP and JUI-F are also negotiating their terms for joining the alliance. Political analyst Faizullah Khan suggests that without the inclusion of PTI and Jamaat-e-Islami, the alliance may not significantly impact the PPP's hold in Sindh.

Unregistered, unheard: elections and transgender exclusion
20 Oct 2023  |  The Express Tribune  |  English  |  Social Exclusion
Transgender individuals in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa face significant barriers to political participation due to a lack of National Identity Cards (NICs), societal exclusion, and limited awareness among election officials. Despite policy changes and efforts by organizations like TransAction Alliance and NADRA to facilitate registration, many transgender people remain unregistered and unable to vote. Activists and political party representatives call for greater awareness, reserved seats, and inclusive policies to ensure transgender individuals can exercise their electoral rights. The Election Commission of Pakistan is working on gender-sensitive voter information campaigns and accessible polling stations to address these issues.
