The National Assembly constituency NA-114, spread over the tehsils of Jhang, Athara Hazari and Ahmedpur Sial, is the scene of a unique fight featuring three major shrines.

The shrines of Hazrat Sultan Bahoo and Hazart Shah Jewana are situated within the precincts of this constituency. The shrine of Sial Sharif lies only 15 kilometres outside the constituency in Sargodha district, but it has a large number of devotees in NA-114.

Contrary to the rest of the country, the campaigning here is being done more by devotees of these shrines than political workers.

With the candidates of two political parties (PPP and PTI) slugging it out for influence on the back of their ancestral connections to these shrines, and one independent (Alisha Baloch) being strongly supported by the pirs of Sial Sharif, it promises to be an enticing contest.
