People believed in "Change" and voted for PTI in KPK. They were tired of traditional power players. When the moment came, they confided in Imran Khan's promises of change. They came out, despite threats from Taliban.
Other parties respected PTI's mandate and gave them chance to work in KPK. PTI, in alliance with JI, is in position to make provincial government. Soon government will take over and start working.
In next election PTI will have to show some performance -- better than the one showed by N-League in Punjab, which helped them regain majority -- along with promises and criticism on others. All eyes will be on them. Clock is ticking.
Start is always critical, first step is the one that determines how good the journey will be. First step toward making of KPK government have shocked many. Alliance with JI was weird enough for PTI well wishers, the made it weirder by nominating Parvez Khattak the next CM of KPK.
Parvez Khattak, alleged with corruption charges, was given preference over other loyal PTI candidate, Asad Qaiser. This step have raised many eyebrows within and without PTI circles. Will PTI continue this pursuit or get on track before its too late? Will the alliance between JI, the right conservative, and PTI, the liberal fashion symbol, work for 5 years? Will people see PTI deliver as per their manifesto? It's too soon to speculate.
It's a long journey and my best wishes are with PTI and hope that PTI doesn't fall down like the previous KPK Government. Time has changed and no body can fool people for long.
