Says party is handic­apped, going in electi­ons with only their past record to show.
PESHAWAR: The Awami National Party (ANP) candidate for PK-3, Haroon Bilour, said the turnout on May 11 will be low due to the poor state of security.
Bilour denied Pakistan Peoples Party leader Zulfiqar Afghani’s allegations that the ANP has purchased votes of Christians and other non-Muslims, adding his party believes in democracy and would never use unfair means to win.
Afghani had also alleged the ANP is using government funds and carrying out developmental projects in their constituencies to gain supporters.
“Our past performances are good enough for us to go in the elections”.
He further said the Election Commission of Pakistan should ensure that security is provided for voters so they can cast their ballot without fear.
He also asked the people to use their vote to select loyal and true leaders who would work for the progress and development of the country.
