From Our Correspondent

OKARA: Twelve women of the PML-N Thursday won the election on reserved seats of District Council.

The elections on women special seats were held after a hiatus of 15 days. Earlier the election was postponed on November 15, 2016, owing to wrong printing of election symbols on ballot papers.

Some 137 votes out of 140 were cast for these seats.

The PML-N backed 12 women, including Samina Hafeez Wattoo, Nasreen Kausar, Tauheed Nasir, Shaheen Akhtar, Talat Perveen, Abida Parveen, Fazeelat Altaf Chaudhry, Najma Sultan, Nighat Begum, Rahila Sohail, Farida Ishaq and Mubeen Rao, won the election. Memona Sharif and Iram Shahzadi of the PTI and Shaheen Fatima of PPP were declared successful in the election.
