Jamat-e-Islami Pakistan (JIP) is one of the oldest political parties of Pakistan. However historically its electoral performance has remained below par. In general elections 2018, JIP even failed to retain the constituencies in Upper Dir and Lower Dir that it had mostly been winning in previous elections. Using primary data generated through interview schedule from purposively selected ten party leaders, this qualitative study analyzes the causes and implications of intra-party rifts on the electoral performance of JIP in general elections 2018 in the two districts. Epistemologically grounded in constructivist / interpretivist worldview, the study relies mainly on the views of those who participated in the phenomenon under examination, while secondary data plays supplementary role. The data of transcribed interviews was thematically analyzed. The study finds that internal discords seriously impaired JIP’s electoral performance. It highlights how party ideology gets compromised in the course of exposure to power and electoral politics. The study concludes that JIP needs to undertake a sustained change process for regaining its lost ground in the two districts in future elections.
