ISLAMABAD: Four former veteran leaders of the Jamiat-e-Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), who have recently been expelled from the party, are attempting to knock out party chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on technical grounds in a bid to overwhelm him and snatch political power from his tight control.
But even if such an effort meets with success, will it have an impact on the stature and standing of Fazlur Rehman within his party, in the opposition Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) or on the overall political horizon? Will the moves by the dissenters affect his hold on the JUI-F?
If the past is any guide, the answer to these questions would be in the negative. During General Ziaul Haq’s martial law, the late Maulana Samiul Haq had broken away from the JUI and founded his own faction. However, Fazlur Rehman had maintained his status as the undisputed chief of the party and Samiul Haq’s group was never able to show any worthwhile electoral performance.

This isn’t the first time that the JUI has suffered a split. Yet, it is very unlikely that this will cause any real damage to the political party
A new faction has emerged in Maulana Fazlur Rahman’s Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam (JUI-F) after a revolt by four prominent members led by Maulana Mohammad Khan Sherani.
As the party’s name suggests, it identified with Fazlur Rahman as it is commonly called JUI-F even though it was registered with the Election Commission of Pakistan as simply JUI.
This isn’t the first time that the JUI has suffered a split. Years ago, Maulana Samiul Haq left the party to form his own faction, JUI-S, named after him. However, it remained a small party and never posed a significant challenge to the JUI-F. Its only electoral success came in the 2002 general election when it became part of the six-party religious alliance, the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA), that did well in the poll and went on to form the government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (
