Opposition plays a pivotal and moderate role in a democratic system while complying with the constitutional procedures. Either it is an interim form of government or a constitutionally elected government, a legitimate opposition harmonizes the conflicts arising in the democratic system. The current research study investigates and evaluates the role of the Opposition in the successful implementation of the 18th Amendment and how the Opposition sensibly harmonized its relations with the government all through this process and which challenges and problems it had to face in order to put the democratic process back on the right track in Pakistan. The current study also reveals the difficulties in enforcing the Constitution with the mutual consensus of all the political parties i.e. the Opposition and the Ruling Party. It also focuses on how the Opposition contributes to the pro-democratic efforts and constitutional sustainability. Qualitative approach has been utilized in order to build its research design. The current study ends with this conclusion that the enforcement of 18th amendment had been an overwhelming hallmark that affirmed a long-lasting democratic process in Pakistan as it brought about robust reforms in the Constitution of Pakistan.
