Abstract
Pakistan has survived the sixty two years of its life and passing through the phases of different latent and apparent crises which challenged the legitimacy of its political process. After its birth in the 20th century Pakistan witnessed democratic and authoritarian rule which were the result and consequence of bad governance or the imbalance nature of institutional development. The ultimate option of all kinds of governments was to return to democracy but they had their own forms which were labeled as controlled to participatory forms of government. From political philosophers to political activists all have consensus over it that social contract is the way by which rule is executed and it could be prolonged if this contract is refurbished according to the needs and desires of the people. So often elections had been the source of change of incumbency of political office in Pakistan and their routine was intermittently.
