Abstract

Since his ouster as prime minister in April 2022, cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has become the latest to challenge this system. Khan's support base comprises middle-class urban Pakistanis disenchanted with the country's two traditional political parties, the center-right Pakistan Muslim League (PML) - dominated since the 1980s by the family of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and current Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif - and the center-left Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), led by members of the family of late Prime Ministers Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto. Khan and his supporters, by contrast, hope that the Islamist, anti-American elements of the military will intervene to help Khan return to power. [Extracted from the article]
