In Pakistan, elections are marred by fears of military interference, echoing past political manipulation. Led by a caretaker government amid instability and economic uncertainty, the military's historic influence persists, weakening democratic institutions. In 2017, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's ousting marked a pivotal moment, followed by tensions between Imran Khan and military leaders in 2021. By 2022, Khan's removal and a coalition government underscored military sway. As elections loom, concerns mount over fair play and civilian authority restoration in Pakistan's complex political landscape.
