LG polls: JUI ready for alliance with any party
[Dawn] The provincial executive council of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl has proposed that the next local bodies' elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa should be held on 'proportional representation' basis.

Giving details of the council meeting here on Thursday, JUI deputy chief Maulana Attaur Rehman said that his party was ready to form alliance or make seat adjustment with all political parties and groups in the local bodies' polls in the province.

He said that the council had authorised the district chapters of the party to form alliance with political parties. The district chapters had been empowered to allot of tickets to suitable candidates, he added.

The JUI leader said that if local bodies' polls were held on proportional representation basis then it would strengthen the system and devolve powers to grassroots level.

However, he failed to explain the term 'proportional representation' when asked by the journalists.

Mr Rehman, who lost by-polls to Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf candidate in Lakki Marwat, alleged massive rigging and use of government machinery in by-elections. He said that women voters were barred from casting vote in 52 polling stations in NA-27, Lakki Marwat.
