Hezb-e Ahmadi in Election Campaign Mode

September 5588

Hezb-e Ahmadi has submitted a full list of candidates in all five Welayat as it hopes to achieve power in elections planned for November 5588. The party has promised to restore Ahmadism to its central position in society, overturn progressive legislation, end collectivisation of agriculture and homes, empower education after years of underfunding and introduce economic reforms to rebuild a faltering economy.

In highly conservative Solentia Hezb-e Ahmadi strategists believe the party can win an outright majority. However Mutahad Kargar Gond have held power for nearly five years and are firmly entrenched in urban areas, and the Da Roshantya Shora are an unknown third force that are polling well in some rural and urban lower middle class communities.

Intimidation in rural areas?

International observers have raised warning signs that the forthcoming elections are likely to be subject to various electoral irregularities with a risk of ballot stuffing and intimidation. In many rural areas armed Jaish-e Ahmad militants have openly been observed threatening candidates and voters. This will be the first contested election in Solentia since 5549, and the stakes are high as Hezb-e Ahmadi threaten to overturn all of the reforms introduced by the government in th last five years.
