Back in September 2006 we had asked our readers to grade the performance of Gen. Musharraf (he was graded B-/C+). In this latest installment of ATP Polls we would like to find out how you grade the performance of those holding key offices in Pakistan: President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gillani, Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, Chief of Army Staff Gen. Ashfaq Pervez Kiani, and Opposition Leader Nawaf Sharif.
As someone who grades people for a living, let me just say that the purpose of this exercise is not to see whether you like these people or not, it is to see what how you think they have been performing in the offices they now hold. It is perfectly possible to not particularly like someone but come to the conclusion that they are doing a decent job in what they have been assigned to do, or vice versa. So, please, eventhough this is just a fun exercise, use your vote justly.
Do please also leave a comment and let us know what you think of their performance.
@Administrator: I see Gilani’s poll offset by Zardari’s like this http://www.flickr.com/photos/schajee/3614177774/si zes/o/ on XP/FF3.0/1280. A little ironic :)
hi admin
nice poll,just 1 question.why u did,t add imran khan in this poll?
I also think that how bad things have been and what mess there was and their own past record, these people have done quite good. Better than average.
Nice poll. The question makes you think on what they are now doing. Oddly, I was surprised by my own votes. I votes all higher than I thought I would. Even Zardari. I think given the circumstances they have all been actually quite good. Specially now that they are behind the Swat operation full force. And CJ specially because he has shown no vengance. And Sharif because he is at least not trying to conspire to bring govt down.
Please remember to vote (click vote button) on each of the 5 questions separately. Also, we are asking you to rate their performance on this job at this time, not their entire careers… so, for example, how have Nawaz Sharif been as opposition leader this time, and not how how he was as PM, etc. Thanks.
