It was mostly due to the efforts of one man, Imran Khan.
Yep. Hopefully he wins the current elections. Me and my whole family waited hours in lines to vote for him last elections.
He may be less corrupt than the others but I wish his go-to move wasn't to block traffic to express his displeasure with every policy decision.
Hypothetically speaking, what will your reaction be if he loses this time too? Will you (personally) accept his defeat and wait for the next election or will you take to the streets and protest against the election results like 2014 (given Khan calls his supports out)?
I am only trying to get the feel of Pakistani politics here, no personal bias.
Unlikley as all the other major parties have got their hands tied currently I am more worried about what happens when he goes against the army will he able to or will an army dictator rise again.
I beg to differ, rather I think it was due to the fact that Nawaz had certain "disagreements" with the military elite that he was brought down. Imran Khan's whole movement was based on false assumptions which he even admitted later. The lock-down of the national capital in 2014 was based on the famous accusation of "35 punctures". Which he later admitted was his political statement and there was no proof of it.
I doubt if the military, especially the ISI had not intervened in the background, Imran alone would have been able to shake such a politically strong prime minister. Wasn't it revealed later on that the news of "35 punctures" was spread by some brigadier or colonel? I am not sure who it was but surely it was some army officer with ties to the politicians.
True. Especially in India where it's wasn't even covered much in the news
