D.I.KHAN: Dost Muhammad Mehsud, PTI Leader and expected Candidate from NA-42 South Waziristan said that ECP has principally decided to establish polling stations at Dera ismail Khan, Tank, and Gomal area of Tank for the Mehsud IDPs to use their right to vote in the forthcoming election for NA 42 on my petition.
In an interview with The Frontier Post Dost Muhammad paid rich tributes to the chief election commissioner for taking into consideration his petition.
Earlier,Dost Muhammad Mehsud had filed a petition with the Election Commission of Pakistan and Provincial Election Commission for allowing IDPs of South Waziristan to vote in Settled areas where they are residing now.
About One Lac and eleven thousand IDPs are registered as voters and about 100 polling stations are estimated which according to Dost are not enough. "The number of polling stations should be increased, and arrangements should be made for those Mehsud
IDPs who are settled outside Tank and Dera Ismail khan," He said adding that the Mehsud IDPs were passing through critical conditions and their vote was highly important in the upcoming general election.
When contacted Assistant election commissioner Tank, Shamshad Khan Mehsud said they have not yet received any official letter in this regard.
However, he told work was underway over the case and soon we would get orders from the office in this regard.
