Low turnout at Maryam Nawaz’s Lahore rally compared to PTI’s massive crowds

The low turnout at Maryam Nawaz's Lahore rally has inevitably sparked comparisons to the political rallies organized by the PTI at the same venue.

In the realm of Pakistani politics, public rallies serve as a significant indicator of a party’s popularity and support base. Recently, PML-N senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz held a public rally at Lahore Liberty Chowk in connection with the 25th anniversary of Pakistan’s nuclear tests.

However, to the disappointment of the PML-N, the event witnessed a notably low turnout, leading to comparisons with its political rival PTI which regularly attracts thousands of enthusiastic supporters to its rallies across the country.

According to images and videos shared online, Maryam Nawaz’s Lahore rally did not meet the expected turnout. It is estimated that only a fraction of the anticipated attendees showed up, raising questions about PML-N’s current public support.

Questions were raised on the low support for the PML-N, while others pointed out the PTI’s ability to mobilize the masses despite being ousted from the government.

While rallies are not the sole indicator of a party’s popularity or success, they do reflect public sentiment and support to a certain extent. The underwhelming attendance could indicate a decline in enthusiasm for the PML-N, which may necessitate strategic reassessments and efforts to regain momentum.

After PTI’s ouster from the government, its popularity had racked up in addition to the public support that its Chairman Imran Khan already enjoyed. A year later, PTI’s popularity with the public remains even though the party is going through tough political obstacles that include mass resignations and government crackdowns.
