yes, that was the last honest election in my memory. thereafter, elder bhutto applied what he had learnt from E. Pakistan's mujib. I remember him hijacking passenger buses --using police and the special gang he raised later on-- to his rallies to make himself look popular.You are right about it, it's always selection (the only exception probably was the 1970 GE).. PMLN vote count 20,000 se shoru hota raha hai Punjab mein hamesha se until Nawaz decided to take the selection system head on to become the all-powerful Firaun he always wanted to become... But decades of holding power, esp. in Punjab, has enabled the Sharifs to orchestrate a massive patronage system that, by extending favours to the powerful and influential persons, not only allows the Sharifs to earn huge amounts of money but also protects them from accountability. As long as the influential beneficiaries of this corrupt system support Sharifs, they can get away with literally anything and win in elections any given day.
subsequently showbaaz raised a similar gang which now seems to have melted away but rana druglord still has one
