ABSTRACT
The trend of the East Pakistan election results so far announced already indicates that the United Front has completely wiped out the Muslim League. The huge majorities which the United Front candidates have secured are phenomenal. Altaf Husain’s editorial as votes were still being counted assesses the political climate and mood of the people. The delays in constitution-making resulted in a lot of internal strife and the Nazimuddin regime became increasingly unpopular. In April 1953, in an affront to democracy, the Governor-General, Ghulam Mohammad, a senile bureaucrat, forced Khwaja Nazimuddin to resign and appointed Bogra Mohammad Ali as Prime Minister.

The reactions of republican leaders to the statements of the President and the Prime Minister on the West Pakistan assembly’s resolution on one unit are too ludicrous for words.
