Abstract
This research paper tends to explore the determinant of clientelism in
the electoral politics of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) with reference to
2008 general elections. The study theorizes that the determinant of
clientelism is important in unfolding the electoral politics in KP. The
determinant of clientelism has been analyzed in terms of its indicators
of “local development”, “unemployment” and “participation in
sorrowful and joyful activities” which have been referred as dependent
variables. Area, Age, Gender, Profession, Monthly Income and
Education have been termed as independent variables. Data has been
collected through questionnaire technique from 800 respondents as a
total sample size in NA-2 Peshawar through multistage random and
systematic sampling from the voter list. Data analysis have been made
via ordinal logistic regression model. The model concludes that the
independent variables of Area Age, Profession, Monthly Income and
Education are the most important variables in describing dependent
variables of clientelism.
