| As-salam-o-alaikum.
I am interested to contest in next election as a candidate of PTI in NA-154. I have started campaign for enrolling 50,000 "workers" of PTI in District Lodhran. It is requested that PTI supporters in Lodhran may kindly contact me and PTI lovers in other cities may guide me for efficient and effective result.
Regards,

| great work.... i really want PTI leadership to take action regarding this great initiative. We greatly support ur cause. Just share with us the details of your constituency like who won the election last time? Who are the strong people in your area and to which party do they belong? What is the total no of registered voters up till now in that constituency?
The registering campaign is great step that you are taking in that area....Just keep us updated ... We will be following ur progress and wish u good luck..
Make an action plan by addressing first of all the local issues of ur areas and give people of ur area the solution.. Dont start blame game early in ur campaign .. Address people with a difference..
Wish u Godspeed

| | We all should support you voluntary even if we not from lodran to get the target.we gotta work as team, volunteers from lahore city can go in group for weekend & set up camp to get the numbers & then move on to next candidate halaqa.we can save resources,time & energy for coming election if we work together as team.Things need to get done by our self, instead of expecting IK to come & give speech on every corner to help us. | | | |

| Thank you everyone for your encouraging comments.
@AhssanK
My eligibility is not because of my wish for being a ruler. I am enthusiast to act as a change maker and I am already working on this cause through our non-profit organization. I already have contacts with local communities and have been supporting them in resolving their issues. I am not an ordinary landlord, feudal or industrialist. I am a well sensitized citizen of Pakistan. Despite being only 27 years old, I have proved my worth by successfully working in a multilateral organization like UNICEF as Programme Manager. Secondly, my candidacy is subject to success of my campaign. I have knowledge, experience and implementation power of social mobilization theories. If I become successful in enrolling 50,000 members of PTI, then I think, it's my right to claim party ticket. Otherwise, I'll not force the leadership to nominate me in this constituency.
@hmcheema
I have discussed my idea with district leadership and they appreciated it. I have also intimated PTI nation, provincial and regional leadership about this campaign through email; though did not receive any reply yet.
@bilalahmed1324
Contesting in NA-154 is not like eating a fruit cake. There is a feudal, Mr. Muhammad Siddique Khan Baloch, who has been winning from this constituency for last three consecutive elections. In one election, he used a "proxy" because he did not had B.A. degree. Previously he had been belonging to PML (N) but post-Nawaz regime, he joined PML (Q) and now acts as District President of PML (Q). The constituency largely comprises of rural area and he has great influence over landlords and influential persons in this area. He mainly depend on "Thana-Kachehri" type of politics. He is practically an illiterate person and cannot even read a visiting card in English.
The second powerful politician is Mirza Nasir Baig who belongs to PPPP and has a L.L.B. degree. Though he has been unable to win during last three consecutive elections but previously he has won and has been serving as Federal Minister for Sports and Youth. He is also a feudal.
Other emerging politician is Muhammad Tahir Ameer Ghauri who belongs to PML (N). He is not a traditional feudal and resides within the main city area. He has been contesting in last three elections from PML (N) but did not win due to poor planning and inappropriate campaigning strategies.
According to 1998 census, the population in NA-154 is 582,642. Registered voters are 325,493 (171,661 male and 153,832 female).
@TAJAMMAL
Thank you for your suggestion. I'll act upon it.
@sajjadkhan
Thank you for appreciation. I have adopted slightly different strategy for registration of PTI members. Initially I started enrolling my own family and friends. Then each of the enrolled members is responsible for referring at least four new members. Those four new members will also be responsible for doing the same. This will make a chain of members. We'll give a special respect to the person who will refer four members. We'll support him everywhere for protecting his rights in accordance with the law and constitution of Pakistan. Collectively, we'll stand for resolution of common local issues. Though current membership of PTI is not even able to form a complete working body of PTI at district level as mentioned in the constitution of the party. However, we plan to form working bodies at mohallah, union council, city and tehsil levels after enrolling sufficient members.
Camping and registering voters is good but usually not all the registered workers do it from the core of their heart. With the referral system, there will be a reference and a channel for continuous follow up with the enrolled member.
This is an idea and it might have many flaws. I'll appreciate if you could add into it.

| I sent this email to almost all office bearers of PTI. But I regret to post here that not a single of them considered replying to my email about such a large campaign. It really discourages activists.

| Dear AhssanK,
Thank you for your reply. It really feels good to know that someone noticed our activity. I already met district team of PTI in Lodhran but they do nothing except proving that PTI cannot be succeeded in district Lodhran. However, I have never got a chance to meet provincial or national leadership of PTI which I'll obviously try for.
I have also set up Imran Khan Lovers Forum, find it on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_225556497457193&ap=1 | | | |

| Yes. They say, people are not aware and not ready to join PTI. Moreover, PTI's leadership is also unaware of political tech-tics. They are also afraid that Ejaz Ch., Vice President PTI is interested to give leadership of PTI in Lodhran to some activists of Jamat-e-Islami because he was a leader of JI prior to joining PTI. They also say that there is no person who can invest on PTI in Lodhran and the district team is not able to pay any expense for the party etc etc.
I assured them that we can get 50,000 members but they kept saying the same that it is simply impossible.

| Sorri if you find it offensive, but i think collecting 50,000 votes is really a big deal and not easy task at all, specially when people dont know you, dont trust you.
Do you have any idea how many followers you currently have? | |

| Gulfam Mustafa,
Good initiative. Couple of thing i would like to say.
It's never a good idea to crossover your local PTI team and start a campaing of your own, that way you will be pulling in a different direction then PTI and this will be very negative for the party.
I suggest you get your local and district PTI team on-board. Have meetings with them from local to district level, lay down your membership registration plan infront of them and convince them that it's do-able.
If they simply say it's not possible then you must ask them that you are starting a campaing (getting new members and NOT your election campaing) and you need them onboard.
And once you have new members 10,000 (and you should be able to prove this was a result of YOUR efforst) setup a meeting again and ask them what do they think now, and then they will be ready to listen to you. If you can't do this then in thier books you are just another one of those who talk the talk but don't walk the walk.
I only have one reservation: Would you run your membership campaign ONLY if you get a party ticket OR would you do it even if you are denied???

It's not like that I have given up. I am already working on what I have planned. I have no expectations from PTI because nobody from PTI national, provincial or district teams is supporting me. However, I am working on the campaign with the help of my supporters. I am very much positive that I'll be able to achieve my target even if PTI does not consider me for giving ticket to contest as their candidate.
However, I'd like to elaborate that everyone will give up his/her idea if PTI office bearers behave like the same. Encouragement, guidance and acknowledgement is a human need and if you study human psychology, you'll agree with me. Without these things, working dedicatedly might be a philosophy but not a practical approach.
I hope, PTI team will think over their communication gaps.

Glad that you are still around. I thought you had abandoned this forum!
I put forward few suggestions in my post on 30-05-2011 and i didn't get any response from you that's why i thought you had already given up.
PTI is not much without it's supporters so people like you ARE PTI.

He 'll try but he didn't say he already have that much support, but he should keep trying and never give-up.
@OP
Why only MNA? start with just a worker... organizer, you'll surely get what you wish if you are honest with your work.
And i think this topic should be in knowledge of top leadership as mr Gulfam described that the behavior of PTI people is not good.
