PESHAWAR / MARDAN / NOWSHERA:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan predicted on Wednesday that 2015 would be the election year in the country, saying his party has already made a ‘Naya Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P)’ and it would also build a ‘Naya Pakistan’ this year.


“We have made a new K-P and will also make a new Pakistan this year,” he told a public gathering in Peshawar.

The PTI chief visited three districts of central K-P in a last-ditch effort to woo voters for the May 30 local government (LG) polls in the province. Wednesday’s whirlwind campaigning represented his party’s bid to regain control of the province at the grassroots level.

Taking jibes at his political foes – Awami National Party (ANP), Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F), Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) – Imran said the united opposition would not frighten his party.

“The PML-N and PPP have joined hands against us but the PTI is not scared of them and will contest even if all political parties unite against us,” he told the gathering in Peshawar’s Tehmash Khan Football Stadium.

While attempting to soothe frayed nerves of estranged party workers, who are up in arms for being denied party tickets, Imran conceded that mistakes might have been made in the allotment of over 45,000 tickets across the province but in the same breath he asked them to withdraw their candidature in favour of PTI hopefuls. Praising his own government in K-P, the PTI chief said it has made significant improvement in police department, in the education sector and fight against corruption.

In his Mardan Railway Station ground speech, Imran said new local government system introduced in K-P would be a truly liberating experience for the masses.

He said the new system would allow people to make their own decisions and they would not have to run after lawmakers for solution of their problems.

The PTI chief said the Ehtesab Commission set up by his government in the province would not spare corruption whether it was done by his party ministers or those in the opposition.

The entire country is full of problems and our dear Kaptaan is mostly focused on reelections 24/7! Lagta hai aik hi jagah par sui atak gai hai jab se lifter se gira hoon. :D

I think he should drop this stance and just pay attention to KPK. That will settle how good his party has been in governing KPK. However if Judicial commission announces re-election even then it wouldn't be able to be conducted in 2015.

Problem for IK is that he doesn't understand the very basics of winning Westminster election system. In recent British Elections, one new but very popular party (UKIP) got 12.6 % of all votes, yet it managed to win only a single seat in the parliament. And then there was another not so popular and old party (SNP) that got 4.7 % of total votes, yet it managed to win 56 overall seats in the parliament:

What kind of broken and unfair election system is this? And why the heck has it been adopted in Pakistan and unchanged for decades? IMO, the scandinavian or the swiss model of proportional representation works a lot better that the above crap as evident in the democracy index:
