Pakistan is passing through another political transition. After general elections of
July 25, 2018, new elected government has taken the saddle. The present party
government has come up with a slogan of “Change” to the political system of
Pakistan our country yet is in search of political stability and institutionalized
political system. The present paper is an attempt to highlight the paradoxes and
perils of party politics which has endangered working of parliamentary democracy
in contemporary Pakistan. The imbalance between civil and military institutions
has affected the political stability and enduring democracy. The current grave
situation in our homeland may also be attributed to the failure of political parties
to deliver support for parliamentary democracy. There is paucity of academic
sources highlighting the menaces which have deteriorated the party system.
Unveiling the dangers regarding the present-day party politics in Pakistan signifies
the importance of this paper. Interestingly, many of the hazards of the party
politics found in the first decade are present even in today‟s polity of Pakistan.
Even after passing of 71 years, political parties have failed to play their due role in
addressing the menaces in the polity of the country. Unfortunately, political
institutions have not been fully institutionalized. That resulted in the weakening of
democratic institutions in Pakistan. It is time for the political leadership to take
account of their responsibility for strengthening the parliamentary democracy
through institutionalized party politics. The stability of the polity is directly related
to the strengthening of the party system
