After spearheading the demands for investigation and ousting of (now disqualified) PM Nawaz Shareef, the opposition leader and former cricketer Imran Khan has vowed to bring back the 'real democracy' in Pakistan. However,  analysts are divided on whether Khan's charisma and a populist image are sufficient to defeat the political machine of Sharif's party in elections.

अयोग्य घोषित प्रधान मंत्री नवाज़ शरीफ़ की जांच और निष्कासन की मांगों का नेतृत्व करने के बाद, विपक्षी नेता और पूर्व क्रिकेटर इमरान खान ने पाकिस्तान में 'असली लोकतंत्र' को वापस लाने की शपथ ली है। हालांकि, विश्लेषक इस बात पर विभाजित हैं कि खान का आकर्षण और जनवादी छवि चुनाव में शरीफ़ की पार्टी की राजनीतिक मशीन को हराने के लिए पर्याप्त होंगे या नहीं।
