However, Mr Khan should remember that this legal saga is far from over. On the other hand, the politico-legal crisis has only further deepened following the Supreme Court’s intervention on Thursday and the subsequent release of Mr Khan. What we need is dialogue and flexibility to ensure that this crisis can be addressed, and we can work towards conducting elections in the most fair and swift manner possible. Given the stiff postures and rhetoric on display however, no compromise seems likely and none of the institutions or leaders appear to have a roadmap for resolving this crisis. Until personal interests reign supreme, this crisis will only continue to grow and hold the country hostage.
