PML-N walking on a tightrope ahead of RCB polls

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), which swept the Rawalpindi Cantonment Board (RCB) election in 2015, is facing a hard-hitting situation in awarding tickets, due to factionalism, ahead of the September 12 polls.

Two current members of RCB have decided to contest polls as independents while maintaining ties with former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisars group.

In the absence of former senator Chaudhry Tanveer Khan, who had played a crucial role in winning the previous RCB polls for the party, former MNA Malik Ibrahim has started consultations about awarding party tickets.

In the 2015 election for 20 seats of Rawalpindi and Chaklala Cantonment Boards, for Senator Chaudhry Tanveer and Malik Ibrar Ahmed, had persuaded contenders to sit in favour of party-ticket holders and as a result, the party sailed through a landslide victory by winning all seats up for grab.

However, this time around, new delimitation and the emergence of several new faces have created difficulties for the PML-N to award tickets. - Posted on : 18-July-2021
