Khadim Rizvi’s open manifestation of religion helped him become one of the most popular leaders of Barelvi-Sunni Muslims in Pakistani Punjab. He emerged as the leader of a moral community during a crisis. After a series of protests and negotiated agreements with the federal and provincial governments, he was able to translate his support into electoral power. In the 2018 election, his TLP bagged 1.8 million votes (National Assembly seats) from Punjab. It was the first instance in recent political history when a newcomer religious party finished third in the province. No religious party had been able, in the last three elections (2008, 2013, 2018), to impact elections in Punjab as the TLP did in 2018.

Khadim Rizvi公开的宗教信仰帮助他成为巴基斯坦旁遮普邦Barelvi-Sunni穆斯林最受欢迎的领导人之一。在危机期间，他成为道德社区的领导者。经过与联邦和省政府的一系列抗议和谈判协议，他得以将自己的支持转化为选举权。在2018年的选举中，他的TLP从旁遮普邦获得180万张选票（国民议会席位）。这是近来政治史上的第一次，当时一个新来的宗教团体在全省排名第三。在过去的三场选举（2008年，2013年，2018年）中，没有哪个宗教党能够像TLP在2018年那样影响旁遮普的选举。
