In February 1985, Pakistan held national elections under General Zia-ul-Haq's military regime — but with a twist: political parties were banned. Candidates ran as individuals, not party representatives. This episode unpacks the mechanics of those non-party polls, the controversial role of the Majlis-e-Shoora (the appointed advisory council), and the emergence of Muhammad Khan Junejo as Prime Minister. We explore how Zia designed a system meant to control politics while appearing to restore democracy, and how Junejo's brief tenure ended in another dismissal under Article 58(2)(b). Along the way, we touch on the Eighth Amendment, the revival of the 1973 Constitution, and the quiet maneuvering of opposition figures like Benazir Bhutto and the newly formed Movement for the Restoration of Democracy (MRD). A pivotal moment in Pakistan's long cycle of authoritarianism and flawed elections. #PakistanHistory #ZiaulHaq #1985Elections #NonPartyPolls #MuhammadKhanJunejo #MajlisShoora #EighthAmendment #BenazirBhutto #MRD #Article58 #Islamization #MilitaryRule #Democracy #SouthAsia #ColdWar #1980s #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
