JUI-F, PML-N and PPP-S form electoral alliance in Nowshera
 Three mainstream political parties have reached an electoral alliance in Nowshera district for two National Assembly and five provincial assembly seats, local party leaders said. The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazal (JUI-F), Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party-Sherpao (PPP-S) made public their seat adjustment formula. Explaining the modus vivendi, local leaders of the three parties told Daily Times on Thursday that the JUI-F and the PPP-S would support Iqbal Zafar Jhagra, the PML-N candidate and partys provincial president on PF-12, Nowshera-I constituency. Besides Jhagra, Awami National Partys (ANP) Mian Iftikhar Hussain, PPPPs Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah and Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q)s Khaliqur Rehman are also vying for the same seat. In the NA-5 (Nowshera-I) constituency, the PPP-S and PML-N would support JUI-F aspirant Mufti Mohammad Sajjad against former MPA Muhammad Tariq Khattak of the PPPP, Tariq Hameed Khattak of the ANP and Mian Yahya Shah Kakakhel of the PML-Q. ANPs Tariq Hameed is believed to be enjoying more support among the electorates than his other rivals.Posted by: Fred 2007-12-21 |
