Four City Corporation Elections 2013

No army in elections: EC

Election Commissioner Shah Nawaz yesterday said it was not necessary to deploy army in the upcoming city corporation polls in four metropolitan cities scheduled for June 15.
"Members of police, Rab and BGB are usually deployed to maintain law and order in different local government elections. I hope they are enough to tackle situations in the upcoming city corporation elections. There is no necessity to deploy any special force," he told reporters at his office at the Election Commission (EC) secretariat.
Shah Nawaz said, "The candidates are conducting electoral campaign in congenial atmospheres, and the law enforcers are on alert."
The commissioner warned that action would be taken if central leaders of any political party conducted election campaign in favour of any candidate. "As the city corporation election is non-partisan, no central leaders of political parties will be allowed to conduct campaign. They will not be allowed even to join indoor meetings," he said.
