Local Election

Oh the drama!

From rigging booths to blocking women from voting and running in elections in certain villages/towns, to debates between candidates on TV…

Please comment on what you think - is there any point? Is there something different about this provincial election compared to the ones before? Any hope that this election will help veer the country in the right direction? What do you think of the media coverage.

Etc etc.

Re: Local Election

A correction, it's a district/local councils election..not a provincial one. Is there any point..well considering the results in certain regions have been pre determined...I would say for the people who decided the results beforehand..yes there is a point. The rest of us are just spectators...

Re: Local Election

who said its "elections"? its more like getting stamps for "selections".... when was the last time we had "fair" elections? :-|

Re: Local Election

Captain, we are always having fair elections, last time was when Musharaf won with big support from army.

Re: Local Election

The only two fair elections held in 1971 and 1988. The rest were engineered.

Re: Local Election

^ Even some elections were handled by poor engineering firms. If elections are to be engineered then they must be held under good engineering firms. After all, we have many engineers graduating each year.
