IT’S been a long year for Prime Minister Imran Khan and his party, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf.

When he took power in Pakistan, Khan was faced with circumstances few leaders before him have faced: mounting challenges on the governance and economic fronts on the one hand, and an eager, youthful support base looking for quick fixes on the other. Those challenges should have prompted him to seek support across the aisle to implement his vision for a new paradigm of good governance.
