Abstract
This article tends to explore the application of theory of
party identification in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with reference to
2002 elections. The study argues that the theory of party
identification is not applicable in the electoral politics of Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa in 2002 elections. A sample of 800 respondents
has been selected through multistage random and systematic
sampling from the voter list in NA-2 Peshawar. The quantitative
data reveals that more than fifty percent respondents (66%)
supported the view that the electoral preference made in 2002
elections was not based on party identification. The chi-square
value provides a significant p-value which shows that there is
close association between party identification and the variables
including urban/rural divisions, gender, age, profession, monthly
income and literacy.
