Pakistani voters appear divided on who to vote for in the upcoming general election, with the ruling Pakistan People’s Party having a very slender lead over other key parties, according to a new survey. Twenty-nine percent of the people surveyed said they would vote for the PPP, 25 per cent for the main opposition PML-N and 20 percent for Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. Respondents were asked who they had voted for most frequently in the past and voting histories indicated the PML-N’s vote bank had remained stable while the PPP’s appeared to have significantly declined. The Political Barometer survey, conducted by Herald magazine and Sustainable Development Policy Institute, an Islamabad-based think tank, covered 1,283 respondents in 54 districts across Pakistan. In line with expectations, 55 percent of respondents who identified themselves as Sindhis said they would vote for the PPP in the general election expected to be held by May.

  1. ppp seems to be likely winner of next elections.it has very strong roots in rural areas.rural pakistanis are quite happy with the increase in crop prices which has improved their incom considerably

  2. small farmers are much bettter off now a days,every where in villages people have more motorbikes and cars,i think ppp will do very well in rural areas

  3. asif ali zardari is playing his cards very correctly and i think he will be able to form next co eletion government

  4. ppp is playing the south punjab province card very cleverly,this will be a big factor which will go in their favour in next electionc
