PESHAWAR: The Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians (PPPP) NWFP spokesman asked district-level party candidates to stop proposing their names to the provincial and national assemblies for the general elections, stating that the PPPP’s central and provincial parliamentary boards would decide the matter.

Expressing concern over party leaders from Chitral and other districts proposing their names for provincial and national assembly seats, in a statement issued on Friday, the spokesman said the party had not yet taken any decisions as far as issuing party tickets was concerned. The party will constitute parliamentary boards to make such decisions, he said.

“PPPP’s parliamentary boards will select candidates on the basis of their previous records, and a list of candidates will be forwarded to PPPP Chairperson Benazir Bhutto for the final decision,” reads the statement.
