MMA fails to resolve differences over electoral contestants

Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) has failed to resolve differences on electoral contestants as JUI-F chief Fazalur Rehman has not attended a meeting and his JUI-F has issues a list of the party candidates in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province instead of declaring them MMA candidates for Elections 2018.

However, MMA’s secretary general Liaquat Baloch who is from Jamaat-e-Islami has said that the MMA’s central parliamentary board will meet in Islamabad on Tuesday and Wednesday to finalise candidates for the July 25 general elections. He claimed that the constituent parties of the newly-formed religious alliance had successfully resolved their disputes over distribution of the tickets. Most of the disputes had been resolved at the district level whereas the remaining issues were settled by the provincial leadership, he added.
“All obstacles in the way of elections had been removed and the apprehensions of delay have died out,” he claimed, without identifying the “obstacles”, saying there was no need to highlight an issue that had already been settled.
