PAKISTAN YOUTH DECISION MAKING IN 2013 ELECTION
Pakistan is a young and resilient nation Ridden with terror,
extremism and struggling due to faltering economy, the people are despondent
about the overall situation that their country is facing.
On May 11th 2013 more people lined up at polling
booths than in any of previous election. There were a number of factors that
pushed people towards the ballot boxes. Pakistanis in general have started to
understand the significance of voting small scale campaigns and those on the
media urged the masses to get their votes registered and play their parts in
ensuring the first civilian to civilian transfer of power in the country. It
was for the first time in Pakistan that the right vote was viewed as a social
obligation with all parties voters turn out was most this time.
Youth factor can’t be ignored and stands out for the simple
reason that never before did the country’s younger population take such a keen
interest in the political set up that governed it with large numbers of
unemployed youth due to menaces like corruption and nepotism, the general
election was seen as a possible turning point in the political sphere of
Pakistan, younger generation seemed more enthusiastic in the election saga,
Pakistan youth mobilized to great extent.
Youth people’s role in the 2013 election was the
historic and proved the electoral strength of Pakistan’s increasingly bulging
youth demographic and the triumph of democracy over violence, terrorism and intimidation.
At the next election, youth will continue to be an electoral battleground and
young Pakistanis must be ready for such an opportunity
