Author(s) Ms. Anjum Hina

Abstract This study investigates intra-party democracy in Pakistan's political system, focusing on major and regional political parties of 2018 elections. Intra-party democracy is a crucial aspect of political governance and forms the country's overall democratic fabric. The study uses a case study methodology to analyze the internal workings, decision-making procedures, and leadership structures of political parties to determine its degree and its consequences for the democratic system. It also examines party constitutions, internal elections, power dynamics, and member participation methods to understand how intra-party democracy is implemented within Pakistan's unique socio-political environment. The research also explores party leadership, inclusive decision-making procedures, and grassroots member empowerment to identify patterns and trends that support or hinder the growth of a strong intra-party democratic culture. The study aims to provide insights into Pakistani political parties' democratic health and how closely they adhere to democratic ideals. This study examines intra-party democracy in Pakistan's main political parties, focusing on member engagement, decision-making procedures, and party structures. It aims to identify patterns and trends affecting political operations using a comprehensive research approach. The study evaluates democratic parties' philosophies, organizational frameworks, and intra-party democracy, focusing on constitutions, manifestos, and structures. It investigates beliefs, internal workings, and decision-making processes, examining if democratic values are reflected in organizational structures. Lastly, this study explores democratic principles in political parties' internal operations, focusing on candidate selection, decision-making, inclusivity, leadership openness, conflict resolution procedures, and candidate selection, providing a comprehensive view of democracy's embeddedness in these parties.
