With the Military Ascendant, Is This the End for Imran Khan?

The swift rise of Field Marshal Asim Munir in military power is shaking Pakistan's political landscape, especially for Imran Khan and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party. As Munir consolidates influence, the PTI is reevaluating its stance, particularly regarding its contentious “charter of democracy.” This shift indicates a potential power struggle between the military and civilian leadership, with significant implications for Pakistan’s political future and the stability of its democracy. The military’s growing dominance could mean a challenging period for Khan, whose leadership has already been fraught with tension with the armed forces.
