It was January 7, 1977 when Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto advised President
Fazal Ilahi Chaudhry to dissolve the National Assembly for holding the general
elections on March 7, 1977, to be followed by elections to the four provincial
assemblies on March 10, 1977, under the 1973 Constitution. 1
This was the
moment which brought the whole opposition to a single platform. Nine of the
parties closed ranks and announced on January 11, 1977, the formation of a
combined opposition, called the Pakistan National Alliance (PNA)2
. Though the
component parties had some serious difference within, they were successful in
achieving an electoral unity. The more significant was their continued cooperation
and coordination during the election campaign. The factors which kept the PNA
united were largely related to the policies of the ruling Pakistan People’s party
otherwise each of the nine parties maintains its different ideological identity.
