Awami Muslim League (AML) head Sheikh Rashid on Saturday accepted his party’s defeat in the third and final phase of local government elections held in his constituency in Rawalpindi.
“I was hoping to win at least 13 seats in NA-55, but could manage three to four seats”, Rashid told a private TV channel.
“Things have changed a lot. Now we are witnessing a democracy powered by money,” Rashid said.
He said that too much development work was carried out by the government in his area before the elections. “How I could oppose the development work, which was beneficial for people,” he questioned.
