National polls held last week resulted in no party securing a clear majority. However, forming a government is not the key challenge.

As early as August 2023 (in fact, even before that), it became apparent that the leaders of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) coalition government were not planning to give up power easily and give it to supporters of Imran Khan, arguably the most popular politician in the country. Khan was ousted as prime minister after losing a vote of no confidence in April 2022 that, he then alleged, had been plotted by a US-led foreign conspiracy that also involved Pakistan’s powerful military.
It was the leadership of the Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N) that was particularly reluctant to share power with Imran Khan’s party and was waiting for PML-N’s leader, Nawaz Sharif, to return from London and launch his campaign to become prime minister for the fourth time. Imran Khan’s sharp-tongued supporters labeled all initiatives coming from the PML-N as the ‘London Plan’, believing, justifiably, that these were developed in coordination with the military elite.

So what is going to happen?

A puppet government ( excluding Imran Khan's party) will be formed under the supervision of the puppet masters ( deep state). However, this is going to backfire soon. What the establishment has failed to realize is that the middle class has lost confidence in the establishment, which has been ruling Pakistan since its birth in 1947. It is the same as it was in Turkey until the Turkish people fixed the problem under the leadership of Erdogan. The same is going to happen in Pakistan in the end. The deep state in Pakistan, just like the infamous 'Ergenekun' in Turkey, is no longer safe.

Pakistan is currently the Turkiye of 1947.

Turkish people themselves finally got rid of the deep state in 2016, as you can see below:

What the Turkish people did in 2016 was deciding factor for not just Turkey, but the region as a whole. Although @LegionnairE may have differences with Erdogan, I believe he also is against the coup attempt.

Still, Algeria, Egypt, Sudan, and Bangladesh are all suffering from the same kind of deep state that we have in Pakistan.
