Abstract
The interconnection and interdependence between religion, politics and the nation-state is the core behind the political legitimization and considers as the basic pillar of a state. The state like Pakistan, which emerged on the map of the world during the decolonization process in the name of religion, it is important to know either religion plays any role in religio-socialization or in the electoral cum political framework. Pakistan is the country rich with political parties, conservatives and liberal. The paper aims to investigate why religio-political parties did not succeed to achieve their goal of Islamization of the state and religio-socialization of the society. It will also seek why these religio-political forces did not succeed to win the popular votes in the majority even then these were contesting the elections regularly. The paper will discuss the causes behind the declining electoral performance of these parties.
