Abstract
This research explores that the political leadership of major
political parties relies on candidate that belonged to dynastic
background. Political dynasties became the emerging trend of
politics in all political system of the world. Pakistan is one of
those countries where more than 50% public representative
belongs to some sort of dynasties. An electable candidate is
acceptable for nomination and favorable for the voters due to
winning position. Contrarily, voters are also motivated and
deeply persuaded by dynastic candidate in elections. So the
selection of the candidate and the voting trend of the voters
both support the dynastic candidate on elections day. The data
to predict this argument is collected in two steps. Firstly, from
the nomination papers of each candidate to submit the Election
Commission of Pakistan and secondly the General Elections
2013 result.
