The NCH election 2001 had the lowest turnout, 10% in Punjab, 7% in Sindh and 5% in Baluchistan. I do not know, what was the percentage in the NWFP. That was for a number of hard conditionalities including the attestion of the ballot paper by a first class Magistrate. Secondly, to the most of voters the ballot papers were delivered just two or three days prior to the last date of the receipt of the ballot papers in the NCH election office at Islamabad. The result was that, a candidate from Sindh won by securing just 617 votes! While in the 1993 NCH elections the lowest number of votes secured by a winning candidate from Sindh was 2,137! So, it can safely be said, the present NCH has a non-representative character; it does not represent the aspirations of the homoeopaths of Pakistan.

Interestingly, all the three candidates for whom I voted from the province of Sindh lost the election!

Chaudhary Saheb, I know, who you are and why are you so angry but let me emphasise it is the few individuals who make mistakes, a Nation as a whole is to be always respected.
