Abstract

Political process is frequently obsessed with different ideals which could only be realized if they are complimented with peoples’ will. Peoples’ will is the mainstay of democracy and it could be translated by the process of elections. The legitimate transfer of government is actuated through elections which provide the litmus to gauge that how far people have confidence and hope in the political process. Democratic history of Pakistan is tumultuous one which passed through different phases of democratic and autocratic rule but try to retain the semblance of governance as being practiced in modern polities. The comparative analysis of elections 2002 and 2008 of Pakistan has transpired the attitudinal change in peoples’ preferences. The judgmental level of people’s choice is reflected in political values while preferring to favour those political parties which were in proximity to their choice. People were seemingly inclined to those figures that were able to deliver something and rejected which were outmaneuvered.
