Abstract

Islamic parties in Pakistan have been a potent force to reckon with and can be counted among the elite groups that influence political processes and decision‐making in Pakistan. These parties are affiliated to various terrorist organisations which foment trouble in Kashmir and elsewhere. These parties have a tremendous amount of street power, even though they have not done well in terms of votes in Pakistan's elections over the years. This article examines the reasons for the considerable political influence wielded by these Islamic parties which is disproportionate to their electoral support.
