National Peoples Party

National Peoples Party The 1988 elections were still won by PPP but with a thin majority. The coalition ended in 1993, when major chunk of IJI became PML (Nawaz).

Formation
When the party was founded in 1986, Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi brought a number of political heavyweights from all over the country under National Peoples Party flag. IJI Coalition
In September 1988, the newly-formed NPP, the center-right Pakistan Muslim League headed by Muhammad Khan Junejo, and the religio-political Jamaat-e-Islami headed by Qazi Hussain Ahmad along with six other political

parties formed an anti-PPP coalition calledIslami Jamhoori Ittehad or simply IJI. It was believed that Pakistan Army's intelligence agency, the ISI, under Lt Gen Hamid Gul, had a major role in the formation of IJI, as the army was always at odds with the left-leaning PPP. However, only 20 months into office, the PPP government was dismissed by then President Ghulam Ishaq Khan on corruption charges, and IJI won the next elections comfortably leading Nawaz Sharif from IJI to be the next Prime Minister.
