JUI-F leadership shows reservations over intra-party polls

'Can't arrange intra-party election at provincial & central level as polls at union council level haven't taken place'

PESHAWAR: Differences in the Jamiat-e-Ulema-Islam -Fazal (JUI-F) have surfaced as some provincial and central leaders  have registered their complaints with the party leadership over the tickets and time schedule in the province.

As the party has announced to hold intra-party elections of the JUI-F by April 30 the election of the central party leadership and provincial would be held after Ramazan in the month of May.

However, certain leaders of the party have raised their reservations, that how is it possible that if the provincial party leadership hasn’t yet announced the intra-party election date in Peshawar not held the union council level election prior to the provincial level elections.

“We can not arrange intra-party election in the provincial and central level, as the election at union council levels, hasn’t even taken place, we condemn such a non-serious attitude of the committee which is asking us to hold such undisciplined elections” a source told the paper.
