KOHAT, Oct 29: Mufti Ibrar Sultan, the MNA-elect from Kohat, said that Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal would respect people’s mandate and added that their electoral success was the result of a democratic process and not revolution.

Talking to delegations at his residence, he claimed that the MMA was capable of running the government and hoped that it would come up to people’s expectations.
