A Critical Analysis of Democratic Culture in the Political Parties; Awami National Party, Pakistan People's Party, and Pakistan Muslim League (N)
The undemocratic behavior of the political parties in Pakistan is one of the major causes of political instability and political corruption. The control of a few people or families over parties creates feelings of dissatisfaction and powerlessness among the masses. The situation leads to the development of centralized, family-based, and, autocratic culture in political parties. The political experts and legends pointed out the selection of leadership, selection of candidates for public offices as well as for party offices, and the organizational structure of decision-making bodies of political parties as the basic institutions for party democratization. In the light of the literature review and constitutional framework for political parties of Pakistan, the party leadership, selection of candidates, and decision-making bodies are being examined of sample parties (ANP, PPP, and PM -N).
