SWABI, Feb 8: The local leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) have failed to nominate party office-bearers for the Topi and Swabi tehsils in a meeting convened for the purpose and now the PML-N provincial leadership will decide on the issue, sources told this correspondent here on Tuesday.

Insiders said that the party leaders and workers gathered to finalise the names of office-bearers for the district's four tehsils, including Swabi, Topi, Chota Lahor and Razaar. Party's district president Dildar Khan and general secretary Shiraz Khan presided over the meeting, which was also attended by former district president Iftikhar Ahmad and other activists.

The sources said that earlier the local party chapter was divided in two groups, one led by Siranjam Khan and the other by Sardar Mehtab Khan, but the latter reunited the party workers.

However, the sources claimed that differences still existed between the two party leaders and this could be the major reason for the failure to nominate office-bearers for the two key tehsils.

The sources said that both the local party leaders wanted to see their favourites as office-bearers and that caused the delay in nomination of local party office-bearers.

They said that now applications of the candidates for party's local offices would be sent to the provincial leadership, who would make the decision in this regard. ELECTRONICS OLYMPIAD:
