MARDAN, Sept 28: NWFP PPP president Khwaja Mohammed Khan Hoti has condemned what he calls the rising trend of money culture in the election politics and warned that it will lead the local politics to a dangerous situation.

Speaking at a gathering at Hoti, Mr Khwaja said that political parties had their manifestos which were presented before the voters so that they could decide whom to vote for. But, he claimed, some of the candidates were using money to attract voters.

Mr Khwaja expressed the confidence that his party would win the elections and form governments at the provincial and federal level.

He urged the PPP and ANP workers to ensure the success of their candidates.

Mardan district has three NA and eight PA seats.
