Buttressed by mammoth public meetings in recent weeks and decisive wins in bye-elections the PML-N is brimming with confidence. Some critics contend that the Khan has a single dimensional agenda: to expose the perceived corruption of the Sharifs and Zardari. Notwithstanding the ostensible upsurge of the ruling party the small print does not auger well for the elder Sharif and his daughter. This could save the PML-N as well as the Sharifs in the medium and long run. Despite the recent upsurge the PML-N scoring a repeat heavy mandate is highly unlikely.
