\nKAMALIA:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Constituency NA-107, encompassing Tehsil Kamalia and Pirmahal in District Toba Tek Singh, gears up for a challenging electoral battle.<\/span><\/p>\n

With a total population of 856,716, the constituency boasts 509,787 registered voters distributed across 420 polling stations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Notably, 21 polling stations have been designated as sensitive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elections in NA-107 often revolve around community affiliations and local groups, supplementing ideological votes for political parties.<\/span><\/p>\n

A fierce competition is anticipated, primarily between the candidates backed by Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI).<\/span><\/p>\n

Riyaz Fatyana represents PTI, contesting with
the symbol “Table
chair,” while Chaudhry Asadur Rehman vies for PML-N with the symbol “Lion”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Malik Amjad Yaqoob, the candidate of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP),
also throws his hat into the ring.<\/span><\/p>\n

The provincial seats, PP-123 Kamalia and PP-124 Pirmahal, echo the intensity of the electoral battle. On PP-123, PML-N’s Nazia Raheel squares off against PTI-backed Ashafa Riaz Fatyana in a closely contested race.<\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Farid Abbas of PPP and Rana Irshad Anwar of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) emerge as significant contenders in the constituency.<\/span><\/p>\n

In PP-124, PML-N’s Syed Qutb Ali Shah, utilizing the PML-N election symbol, clashes with PTI-backed Syed Sonia Ali Shah, symbolised by “Piyala.” This contest remains the most closely watched, with JI’s Rana Ghulam Abbas standing out among other candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite the electoral fervour, residents of PP-123 and PP-124 grapple with the absence of basic amenities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Issues ranging from healthcare, education, sanitation, and clean water supply to damaged infrastructure persist.<\/span><\/p>\n

The inadequate facilities in THQ Hospital Kamalia often lead to patient referrals to Faisalabad due to a shortage of beds and modern treatment options.<\/span><\/p>\n

The deteriorating condition of the district’s main roads adds to the list of concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n
