  1. Pakistan Elections 2018: Who’s contesting, and why India must closely watch With the country gaining independence a day before India, why democracy in the country has largely remained a distant dream. Voting for Pakistan general elections is underway on Wednesday. The elections mark the completion of its first ever decade of unbroken democracy. That means, since its independence, the nation has seen only two democratically elected governments completing full terms in office.

  2. The first major player in the national election is Shahbaz Sharif, leading the incumbent party (PML-N) into the elections after his brother and former Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif, was disqualified from holding the elected office and the party leadership for life with his name appearing in Panama Papers.

He is leading Pakistan People’s Party into the elections and is hoping to capitalize on the support his mother enjoyed. The third major player is Pakistani cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan, leader of the Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaf(PTI). He is considered to be posing a tough challenge to the incumbent PML-N. Imran believes that his tough stance against corruption would fetch him a majority in the elections. CLICK HERE: Pakistan election 2018
