General elections were held in Pakistan on 10 October 2002 to elect the 12th National Assembly and four Provincial Assemblies. The elections were held under the military government of Pervez Musharraf. The two mainstream parties,Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League (N) (PML-N) had several restrictions imposed on them and their leaders Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif were in exile. In order to address the restrictions,PPP created the Pakistan Peoples Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) under the leadership of Ameen Faheem,to contest the elections on its behalf. The PML-N meanwhile,suffering from the party's division into two factions:one that remained loyal to Sharif and were contesting the elections under the leadership of Javed Hashmi,and the other which had broken away to form the pro-Musharraf Pakistan Muslim League (Q) (PML-Q) under the leadership of Mian Muhammad Azhar. The emergence of the PML-Q marked the beginning of multi-party politics in the country,bringing an end to the decade-long two-party system between the PPP and PML-N.
