This article highlights the effects of the baradari affiliations in the tussle for power during the parliamentary elections in Punjab. The study is related with the Khushab district and it covers the time span from 1982 to 2008. Though elections have not been frequently held in Pakistan yet they during the time selected for this study decided mostly the ruling people of the district of Khushab. The paper reveals that Baradari in Punjab, a major determinant of concentration of power in the hands of a few, plays a vital role in the victories and defeats in the elections. Often the contests take place only between two major baradaries led by the undeclared chiefs of the respective baradari. The information gathered from the statistics of elections have been used to draw the conclusions.
