Abstract
Provincial elections in Sindhh as special rule in the electoral politics of Pakistan. Sindh assembly rule can be understood through its rule in parliament that include National Assembly, Senate and president as it has constitutional rule to elect the senate and president. Pakistan people’s party is a leading political force that has been playing role for strengthening of democracy in Pakistan. There have been ups and downs in the electoral politics of PPP since 1971. The electoral politics and performance of the PPP in the Sindh remains very responsive as people in Sindh never discredit the PPP despite the fact the PPP has done nothing good for them during its rule in the province of Sindh that has prolonged on nearly three decades. Political Alliance against PPP has been very attractive and active since 1988 but their performance in the field of elections remains not good and appreciable. Nature of these political alliances and their performance in elections of Sindh is basic idea of this work as status quo in Sindh electoral politics is intact and any change in this status quo cannot be predicted.
