MARDAN: The Awami National Party (ANP) on Monday announced the names of members of the election commission for Mardan to hold the upcoming intra-party election in the district.It may be mentioned that the ANP had announced the intra-party election to be held in April and May next year.

Ahmed Khan Bahadur was later elected chairman and Haroon Khan as secretary of the district election commission.
Reacting to the development, ANP district president Himayatullah Mayar in a post shared on the social media criticized the announcement of the district election commission and declared it a premature decision.
