There are three main branches of government. One of these is the Executive branch, this is responsible for the implementation of laws passed by the legislative branch. There are numerous function the political executive have to carry out in order to be successful.
The Executive usually implement the laws that affects economic and business activity. These rules have a direct connection to the daily lives of the population since everyone is connected to the economy. Therefore the decisions of the executive need to be analysed and studied. This power to the executive leads to certain business groups swaying decisions to favor their interests. Lobbyists usually follow the corridors of power to the group that can put what they want into the law.
Another function is of the popular leadership. This translates to getting public support to push laws into implementation. It is this function that can be manipulated during the election period. By getting laws that are backed by the general public, candidates hope to suck up the most votes. In the haste of all this, the implications of these laws are not considered to the fullest and the nation mostly suffers in the long run. An example of this was the radical pushing through of more 'Islamic' law that Bhutto made sure happened in time for the election he had to fight for his second term.
Thirdly, the executive holds the function called "Bureaucratic Leadership". This is where technocrats and bureaucrats come together to run the executive. This branch of the executive usually becomes independent of the political sphere. As a result we see differences in the thinking of the two spheres and therefore rifts when it comes to the decision making process. This friction will lead to delayed decision making and this leading to the necessary laws not being implemented in time.
