The research relies on qualitative methodology to study the political struggles and institutional observations as well as corruption cases through the examination of historical documentation and parliamentary proceedings and court decisions and media reports. The research demonstrates how corruption scandals significantly damaged PPP government credibility yet such allegations served multiple political groups such as opposition forces along with military suits and judicial bodies who used them to weaken democratic institutions.
