ayub khan succumbed to political pressure on 26 march 1969 and handed power to the commander-in-chief of the pakistan army, general agha muhammad yahya khan. president yahya khan imposed martial law and the 1962 constitution was abrogated. on 31 march 1970, president yahya khan announced a legal framework order (lfo) which called for direct elections for a unicameral legislature. many in the west feared the east wing's demand for countrywide provincial autonomy. the purpose of the lfo was to secure the future constitution which would be written after the election so that it would include safeguards such as preserving pakistan's territorial integrity and islamic ideology. in the background of recent political developments, the peoples party decided to hold its national conference. the first conference was announced to be held at lahore from 4–6 april 1969 but due to the imposition of martial law, it was called off. later from 1–3 july 1970, first national conference was held at hala sharif, sindh. at this historical conference which is known as hala conference, there were two different opinions on participating in 1970 pakistani general election. some were argued that the party should not take part in elections rather adopt revolutionary insurrection method to take power and others emphasized to take part in parliamentary democracy. at end unanimously, the decision to participate in the elections was taken. on 4 january 1970, za bhutto officially launched his elections campaign by addressing a public meeting at nishtar park, karachi then conducted public meetings at rawalpindi's liaquat bagh and nwfp. its socialist rationale "roti kapra aur makaan" (english: food, cloth, and shelter) and "all power to the people", further popularize the party and the prominence that arise bhutto and the peoples party. by the 1970s, the pakistan peoples party had become the largest and most influential leading socialist and democratic entity in the country. the party published its ideas in its newspapers, such as ""nusrat"", ""fatah"", and ""mussawat"". during the 1970 parliamentary elections, the peoples party contested with full force, initially defeating the far-right groups and the centre-right forces in west-pakistan, although the peoples party was decisively defeated by the liberal democratic awami league in east-pakistan. during the election campaign, the party's noted leftist philosophers and communists intellectuals, such as malik meraj, ja rahim, meraj muhammad, mubashir hassan, and zulfi bhutto himself appealed a great ire to the public over several political issues. tensions arisen with peoples' league and sheikh mujibur rahman, the ideological differences further created hatred towards each other. the situation reached to a climax in 1970 where awami league secured 160 seats out of 300 where the peoples party winning the 81 of 138 seats allocated to west pakistan in the national assembly.
