Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam - Fazl-ur-Rehman Group is the most powerful political bloc of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam and it's led by Fazl-ur-Rehman. Fazal-ur-Rehman has earned himself a reputation for sitting with whoever is the senior partner in government as he has governed with both centre left PPP and is currently in partnership with Nawaz Sharif's centre-right PML-N.[1]
2013 Pakistani General Elections
In the 2013 elections the party won roughly the same number of seats it always does, however due to the nature of the national results the JUI-F was not needed to form a coalition in national by PML-N and Fazl ur Rehman's political nemesis: Imran Khan made sure the JUI F sits on the opposition in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly.
Election performance
The party has spent a total of 10 years as a junior partner in a coalition government with it's long term ally, the centre left Pakistan People's Party. 2002 was the best performance of JUI-F in history when it secured 62 seats and formed the provincial government of KpK as part of the MMA (Muttahida Majils-e-Amal)
Election victories
Unlike the 2002 elections when the MMA swept national and provincial assemblies, in 2008 the JUI-F won 7 general seats in the National Assembly, which garnered them 1 additional seat in the Women Reserved section, raising the total to 8 NA seats. In the provincial assemblies, it won 14 seats in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, but could only muster 2 seats in the 371-seat Punjab Assembly. The party received weak support in Pakistan's western regions and JUI-N won 1 general seats in the National Assembly.[2]
