candidates to contest in elections from multiple constituencies

[Imran Khan]

what kind of system is this . this is not election its pure gambling and fraud . and then after they win from many seats they select one and rest have elections again ? nation have to pay the bills of by-elections? this must be stopped now its become game of money and looting .

so many of candidates are contest in elections from multiple constituencies. its only happen in Pakistan or some civilized countries practice it ?
i think as voter can vote one also candidate can participate from one constituency

This is just waste of time and money and it shouldn't be allowed.

A politician is contesting from 5 different contituencies around the country and one of them is my area when the guy is not. So, on election day, I have to go to polling station, wait for my turn, cast vote and go home. Result, that politician won from my constituency and 3 others and lost from 1. Now, he is allowed to use only 1 seat and he decides that he's gonna keep the seat he won from Lahore and vacant the other 3 seats. He leaves the seats and one of them is my constituency. So now Govt. has to arrange By election in few months, he is gonna decide some lalloo panjoo to contest on his behalf, I will have to go to polling station again and cast vote again.

All this drama happened because a greedy politician wants to win desperately and he wasn't exactly sure about winning from his hometown but he has fanboys all around country.

Does anybody know what's the maximum limit of constituencies one can contest from at the same time?

I also raised voice against this multiple times, it must be either banned or person must be allowed to keep all the seats with vote of the person in this case in assembly sessions his/her opinion must carry the weight equal to number of seats he/she holds. But it's democracy and sh!t is by-product of this system .

I completley agree ..waste of time and resources to let them contest election from more than one constituency

Does anybody know what's the maximum limit of constituencies one can contest from at the same time?

No limit. You can contest election to the National Assembly from as many constituencies as you want

This system is supposed to fail naturally. When people see the leader is not visiting, he will fail. If he appoints someone who does great work, then good for the people.
