The cyanides have started their maneuvers in the political arena to bring the vultures down to quench their thirst from the waters above. In our land, politicians take elections very seriously, not for the sake of the nation or revolution, but merely for their own political and social survival. Because it’s a universal truth that the one who wields the stick controls the buffalo. Now, it’s unclear whether in our times when humans were still learning the basics, they tried to derive moral lessons from the thirsty crow and the temptation of shiny objects, or if they were just hungry for knowledge. There are stories, but it’s not yet clear whether they were meant for learning moral lessons or for succumbing to temptation.
In our political narrative, the temptations of shiny objects and the thirst of the crow still prevail. They extract moral lessons, alright, but the nation is still in a deep slumber. Even today, the nation’s excellence lies in the fact that their thief is their own, and the thief of the opposition has been caught. Whatever anyone may say, in most cases, choosing the crow and the pot for quenching one’s thirst is a task left to the elders. It requires careful consideration and planning, just like avoiding certain mirrors and knowing when to keep one’s mouth shut.
In politics, there’s an old tradition of “induction for declaration’ which is once again a hot topic in the circuit. However, the common man doesn’t consider this an act of the destitute. Let’s move on. The upcoming elections seem to be looming on the political horizon. The feeling of whether elections will happen or not had initially been shrouded in uncertainty, but now the clouds have cleared to some extent.
In these days, the ‘Southern Punjab Front’ has emerged as a new model for the Deliberators, presented under the banner of the Pakistan Peoples Party. Its establishment and instability are being assessed at all levels. Next week, those in power will have their first political showdown. Let’s see what they say and what they show. Nevertheless, the certainty of the election scenario is still tinged with the notion that following the experience of Amir Dogar’s independent election in Multan, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz is also joining the fray. Yousaf Raza Gillani has also started paying more attention to Multan, and it seems that Javed Hashmi will also have to reconsider running for the election on the PML-N ticket. The chances for League tickets are slim for Hafiz Akbar Khan, but the doors to Mian Sahib’s heart are not yet open for him. In any case, just as Javed Ali Shah is confident in Multan, Makhdoom Ahmed is making a strong presence against Raja Imran Yar Khan in Bahawalpur and its surroundings. Makhdoom Shahab-ud-Din Tabb is not clear, but Khawaja Parvez Tabb has a good chance.
Regarding the political landscape, just as the People’s Party and the PML-N have engaged in bitter exchanges, it is likely that third and fourth-grade politicians like Osmans will also speak up. In any case, they are not giving the impression of being the harbinger of hope for PTI in these elections. It is not showing any confidence in PTI’s prospects. PTI will be the victor only if Nawaz Sharif returns!
Keep in mind that even in anti-Nawaz sentiment, PTI is not likely to get votes from the PPP, just as the PPP did not give votes to PTI from its ranks during the elections. The mild music of the first-tier leadership will not be taken too seriously because both parties will need each other in governance and power politics after the elections. The political scenario in Sindh is more or less clear. The PML-N will not waste time beyond Karachi and a few other places. In the big electives, the People’s Party is likely to have the advantage, but in the T20, it will field candidates in five constituencies at least. In Karachi and Hyderabad, MQM and PTI will make adjustments with each other, and in various constituencies in Karachi, the PML-N will make adjustments with different parties. But overall, the key victory in Sindh belongs to the People’s Party.
In KP, as we can see, PTI will have a tough time against PML-N and PPP. PTI’s performance is likely to be average, and third and fourth-grade politicians like Bilawal Bhutto will be inclined to support PPP while criticizing Imran Khan and PTI. The issue is not being taken too seriously because it seems that after the elections, both parties will need each other in governance and power politics.

As for the elections that were once in doubt, there has been a significant reduction in skepticism, as evident from the statements of the Pakistan Election Commission. In the coming days, some other politicians like Osmans will also speak up. Nevertheless, the elections do not seem to hold much promise for the PTI. It does not appear to have the hope of PTI’s victory. PTI will only win if Nawaz Sharif returns!
