LAHORE:
The Pakistan Industrial and Traders Association Front (PIAF) Founders Alliance made a clean sweep once again by winning all seven seats of the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industries Corporate Class elections for the year 2012-13 on Wednesday.
Only 816 voters took part in the polls out of the total 2,120, while eight votes were rejected on technical grounds. PIAF-Founder Alliance got 570 panel votes while the Azad Progressive Group got 96 panel votes. PIAF-Founders Alliance witnessed little opposition in the elections even though Azad Progressive group participated and campaigned for the elections vigorously. The group was able to secure only 96 panel votes in the corporate class elections, but experts say this group will become a stronger opposition in the future.
The final results will be announced on September 29 in the annual general meeting.
