Pakistan came into being through a democratic process. The elections of 1945-46 were held on the basis of
separate electoral system which led towards the separation of sub-continent. But, since inception the
democratic system in Pakistan faced many hurdles. The success of parliamentary democracy was limited
because of continuous power struggle between elected and non-elected institutions, frequent dissolution of
democratic governments and imbalance of powers between the institutions. Throughout the decade (1947-
58) institutions remained in conflict with each other in order to acquire power. In democracy institutions
have to support each other in performing their functions which remained missing in this era. This article
seeks the reasons due to which democracy remained instable in the said era. The emphasis of the study is
upon uncovering the factors that created bottlenecks in the democratic process and premature dissolution of
the governments. The focus is on working relationship between elected and non-elected institutions as well
as functioning of the elected institutions.
