Dynastic politics: Scions and relatives set to dominate K-P by-pollsOwing to poor turnout of women, the top poll body had cancelled the results of the July 25 elections in PK-23. Of the 86,698 women registered to vote only 3,505 women had cast their vote in the restive, mountainous yet conservative district of the province. This was less than the 10 per cent of the total votes polled in the constituency — 69,827, as mandated by the Elections Act 2017.
