Mirpur AJK Elections - PMLN supports PPP

Re: Mirpur AJK Elections - PMLN supports PPP

You need about 1000 candidates to contest elections.

  1. A lot of electables left PTI when first step was taken to hold party elections. They wanted tickets guarantee which wasn’t provided so they left and even won the elections contesting from other parties. Most people criticised PTI for losing good candidates due to this.
  2. 25% tickets were given to youth and only couple of them won (that too in KPK). PTI internal enquiries revealed that it was counter productive to allocate 25% tickets to youth as their lack of experience resulted in loss to the party.

At the end of the day, you cannot select 1000 new faces who have never had any affiliation with any party before. People will call you politically immature if you don’t give tickets to experienced politicians. Despite all these steps if some tickets were given to old so called lotay then should you be called power hungry?

Ticket allocation was definitely not spot on but some steps were taken and more needs to be done next elections. If people keep saying no difference between PTI and other parties because 20% of their candidates are like 99% of other party candidates than God help us.
