JUI-F accepts people's verdict
Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rahman said on Tuesday that, despite harbouring some reservations about irregularities in polling, “I accept the verdict of the people”.

In Monday’s polling, the JUI-F chief was defeated in Dera Ismail Khan, but retained a National Assembly seat from Bannu.
Talking to Geo TV, Fazl said victory and defeat were part of the game as far as elections were concerned. The JUI-F believed in keeping the democratic process forging ahead, and the party would continue to play its due role in parliament, he added. Fazl was of the view that irregularities were committed in some constituencies. Despite these reservations, he offered his congratulations to the victors. In Monday’s polling, the JUI-F chief was defeated in Dera Ismail Khan, but retained a National Assembly seat from Bannu (NA-26).
