In the Azad Kashmir (AJK) by-election, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) declared a resounding victory against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), signaling a dramatic change in the political climate of the area. This victory undermines the PML-N’s hegemony in the region while simultaneously solidifying the PPP’s position in AJK.
1 Elements of PPP Success
A number of crucial elements that struck a chord with voters contributed to the Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) victory in the AJK by-election. A historic victory over the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was made possible by these factors.
1. Campaigning using a strategic approach
The PPP’s carefully thought-out and focused campaigning was very important. Candidates and party leaders made close contact with local communities, listening to their issues and adjusting their messaging accordingly. Voters’ loyalty and trust were increased as a result of this tailored approach.
2. Pay Attention to Local Concerns
The PPP gave top priority to resolving the region’s urgent problems, including infrastructure development, healthcare, and unemployment. In contrast to the PML-N’s alleged inaction on several fronts, its manifesto offered concrete remedies.
3. Community-Based Activation
The party successfully mobilized voters by utilizing its strong grassroots network. PPP secured a large turnout of voters in its favor by enlisting the help of local leaders and influencers, particularly in rural areas where face-to-face communication is crucial.
4. Dissatisfaction with the performance of the PML-N
In AJK, there was widespread discontent with the PML-N’s leadership, which gave the PPP a chance to establish itself as a viable substitute. There was a sense of urgency for change since many voters believed that the PML-N had fallen short of its promises.
5. Involvement of Youth
The PPP successfully reached out to younger people, who make up an increasing portion of the AJK population, through digital channels. The party was able to spread its message and encourage young people to vote by using social media marketing, live events, and captivating imagery.
