Nominations jeopardize democratic system: CAFFE
The process of allocating nominations to relatives, friends and businessmen overlooking long standing party activists has jeopardized the repetitive democratic system, states the Campaign for Free and Fair Elections (CAFFE).
CAFFE is seriously concerned with the nomination procedure adopted by the main political parties at the central and north western provincial council elections.
The tendency to give nominations to the friends of the political party leadership and relatives of powerful politicians is manifest as in the case of last provincial council elections.
In the absence of an inter party democracy in the country’s political sphere, the party supporters are denied the possibility of excreting pressure on the nomination procedure.
