Gallup survey – wakeup call for ruling coalition

The recent Gallup survey on Imran Khan’s popularity in Pakistan has sparked significant debate and discussion across the country. The survey suggests that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s popularity has declined significantly since coming to power in 2018. While this news may come as a shock to some, it is not entirely unexpected.

Imran Khan came to power on a wave of popular support, promising to transform Pakistan into a prosperous and just society. However, his tenure was marked by significant challenges, including a struggling economy, a devastating pandemic, and political instability. In recent months, after the ruling coalition’s popularity was also hit by controversy surrounding its handling of inflation, Imran Khan was the ultimate beneficiary.

The Gallup survey indicates that six out of 10 Pakistanis now approve of Imran Khan’s popularity, up from 31% in 2018. This is a significant improvement for Imran Khan and a challenge for the ruling coalition. However, it is important to note that the survey only captures a snapshot in time, and the situation on the ground is constantly evolving.

While the decline in approval is a concern for the ruling coalition, it is not necessarily a sign of failure. Imran Khan has proved that leaders around the world have faced similar challenges, and the ability to adapt and respond to changing circumstances is what separates the successful from the unsuccessful. Imran Khan has demonstrated an ability to confront difficult issues head-on, and he has made progress in some areas, such as improving relations with India and cracking down on corruption.

However, there is no denying that there is a lot of work to be done to address the challenges facing Pakistan. The economy remains a major concern, and the government must take bold steps to stimulate growth and job creation.

In conclusion, the Gallup survey on Imran Khan’s popularity in Pakistan is a wake-up call for the government and the people. It highlights the challenges facing the country and the need for decisive action. However, it is important to remember that popularity is not the only measure of success. Ultimately, what matters is the ability to govern effectively and deliver tangible improvements to people’s lives.
