Even in martial laws, elections were held. Engineered or faked, but couldn’t be ignored. Such was the power of polls. Against poles.
Ayub held elections in 1962. ‘Defeated’ Fatima Jinnah.
Yahya held elections in 1970. Didn’t like the results. Dissected.
Zia held non-party elections in 1985 to bring Junejo. But Junejo proved to be more democrat than democratic civilians.
Musharraf held elections in 2002. Brought PMLQ. Rhymed so well.
Musharraf, again, held elections in 2008. His tombstone.
And here comes 2023. Elections unconstitutionally delayed in two provinces already. Another unconstitutional delay in General Elections on cards. The devolution from engineered and robbed elections has reached ‘no elections’. So well.
