The NPP and the PML, then headed by Mr Junejo, contested the 1988 elections from the platform of the Islami Jamhoori Ittehad. The PPP won the bout, though with a thin majority. Within no time Mr. Jatoi was eclipsed and dwarfed by the rising star of Nawaz Sharif.

In 1989, he was elected to the National Assembly in the by-elections from Kot Addu. After joining Islami Jamhoori Ittehad (IJI), Jatoi was elected leader of the combined opposition parties in the National Assembly in 1989.

Mr. Jatoi was appointed caretaker prime minister after the dismissal of Benazir government. By his own admission, he failed to hold free and fair elections. Contrary to all norms, Mr. Jatoi joined hands with the opposition in launching a movement against the Sharif government, branding it as a product of rigged elections.

NPP’s slide continued until it became a non-entity. The party still exists but only on paper. Not many people know the name of even its secretary-general, let alone local office-bearers. The party today stands confined to the home constituency of Mr. Jatoi and that too because of his personal influence, not the party program. Those who had joined hands with the Sindhi leader are nowhere to be seen.

He was again elected a Member of the National Assembly as a result of October 1993 elections, but lost his seat in the elections held in February 1997.

His two sons, Tariq Jatoi and Ghulam Murtaza Jatoi are also in politics.
