Abstract
Present study seeks to highlight the events started from the dissolution of elected government of
Mian Nawaz Sharif to the General Elections of 1993 finally ended at the triumph of Pakistan
People's Party. It also tries to pinpoint that how undemocratic decision of the President shoddily
affected the ongoing process of newly established democracy in Pakistan. Yet political parties, their
voters and other stake holders of the society have gathered their energies to reconstitute the
democratic system through Elections of 1993. Although a large number of political parties
participated in the elections yet over 90 percent of the same old faces were reflected in the emerging
two-party system where Pakistan People’s Party by securing the majority successfully formulated
the government. With the help of both primary and secondary sources including newspapers, books,
articles, and journals etc, this paper has tried to analyze that how the electoral practice in 1993
became a thriving riposte of democracy in Pakistan.
