The PPP is certainly in a trouble. The more it is delaying intraparty election the more its political graph is dipping. Nomination on key party cadres is certainly no answer to its organisational issues. Unless it stabilises its position in Panjab by holding intra party elections it simply would not be in a position to find its feet and win sufficient seats in the biggest province of the country. If it would not fare well in Panjab the question of its forming government in Islamabad simply does not arise. Panjab is at the moment its Achilles heel. Persons like Sharjeel Memon have also brought a very bad name to it. The euphoria generated among the rank and file within the party with the expectation that young Bilawal might well be calling the shots disappeared like the morning mist when Zardari sidelined him. The former president, for all practical purposes, looks to be at the helms of affairs within the party. In other words almost the same team would be launched by Zardari in 2018 election which had brought ruination to the PPP in 2013 election.
The only points which go in favour of the PPP is that the ruling party in Islamabad as well as in provinces of Panjab and Balochistan also has a lot to live down when it comes to corruption in mega projects. One may not agree with Manzoor Wasan’prognostication that it is going to be a three -party contest in the 2018 elections, namely the PTI, PPP and Nawaz League for the reason that both the PPP and Nawaz League are like rotten apples and there is little to chose from them. Both these parties are destined to lose many seats and this is going to brighten the chances of victory for the PTI.
