**Over twenty candidates file papers for NA-55 election

RAWALPINDI: More than twenty candidates filed their nomination papers with the Returning Officer for the by-elections for NA-55, Rawalpindi here on Saturday.
Siddique-ul-Farooq, Raja Ashfaq Sarwar and Shakeel Awan - all the three aspirants for a PML-N ticket for NA-55, filed their nomination papers with the returning officer.
Sheikh Rashid Ahmed Chairman Awami Muslim League has filed nomination papers with the returning officer. Barrister Sheikh Danish Iftikhar also filed his nomination papers for the Bye Polls.
PML-N sources say that the party ticket was yet to be decided, however, Siddiq-ul-Farooq, who is also spokesman of the party, is considered as a front runner for the race for winning the party ticket. However, final decision would be taken by party chief Mian Mohammad Nawaz Sharif.
Meanwhile, dissident PML-N leader Ijaz Khan Jaazi also filed his papers on party ticket of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI). Amir Fida Paracha of PPP also filed his nomination papers with the Returning Officer besides many others.
The last date for filing of nomination papers for NA-55 was June 6 according to the schedule issued by the Election Commission of Pakistan.
The seat was vacated by Haji Pervez Khan of PML (N) after the party chief Mian Nawaz Sharif found him guilty in a scam for fielding his nephew for taking examination for graduation in his place.
Pervez Khan also had won the bye elections from the said constituency after the vacation of the seat by Makhdoom Javed Hashmi who had left the seat after winning from three constituencies in the 2008 general elections.

It does not concern me if the people vote for pmln in the next elections or not. At least I will not vote for them under any circumstances (along with most of my family). I do not see any marked difference in governance even after PMLN takes charge. Building up a few roads, bridges are not the end of the world.
