The political landscape in Pakistan is currently marked by significant tension and opposition, particularly from the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) party. Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the JUI-F chief, has openly rejected the legitimacy of the current government, labeling it as operating under a 'fake mandate' (The Frontier Post, February 08, 2026). He has accused the government of being formed through fraudulent means, alleging that the general elections held on February 8, 2004, were manipulated. Rehman has also criticized the Election Commission of Pakistan, claiming it has become a 'puppet body' that executes pre-determined results (Dunya News, February 08, 2026). This sentiment is echoed across multiple sources, highlighting a unified stance from the JUI-F against the current administration.
