Election commission neither in the past nor at present has the power to enforce its orders while constitutionally it has the mandate to do so.The recent example of this phenomena can be seen in the NWFP, where in the district Charsadda and trible agency of Mohmand, the elders have given their unanimous verdict whereby they have baned the women from costing their votes in the upcoming polls on Feb.18.
The same situation is in the capital city of Peshawar where on most of the provincial and national assembly seats the local elders including the candidates have decided not allow their woman to cast their votes.
The election commission has no option but to allow everyone to do whatever they want on the election day. How sad !
