Local body elections underway, vote now on #KarachiKisKa
Who will rule Karachi, who'll be its mayor? Local body polls will be held tomorrow in Karachi
KARACHI: (Dunya News) – Who will rule Karachi? Who will be the mayor of Pakistan’s largest city, and its economic hub? The citizens of Karachi will decide tomorrow in the first local body elections in over 10 years time, reported Dunya News.
Dunya News created a poll on Twitter asking the Twitterati who they think will win the elections on December 5 and as of now, the Jamaat Islami (JI) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) alliance seems to be taking a clear victory. However, Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) is also catching on. You may also vote for Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) or Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) if you wish to.
#KarachiKisKa, what s your assessment?
