2007 Pakistan general election
The 2007 Pakistan general election was a significant event in the country's political history, held on January 8, 2008. It followed a state of emergency declared by then-President Pervez Musharraf in late 2007, leading to intense political turmoil. The election aimed to restore democracy after years of military rule. Major political parties like the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) participated actively, especially after the assassination of PPP leader Benazir Bhutto in December 2007. Ultimately, the election resulted in a coalition government, signaling a shift back towards civilian rule and greater political engagement.
