An election season
brings an entire new setting in any nation or states, featuring the
participants as the national leaders, schedules are made in accordance with the
election campaigns, political rallies are conducted with so much enthusiasm,
politicians assume themselves to be the “perfect heroes” and the element which
is ignored is the people choice.
As a citizen we all
have rights to vote and enjoy the election season as it is of gaining so much original
experiences in life. But the fact which led circumstances to a turning point is
forcing an individual to vote a
particular candidate whether he/she
really supports the candidate or not. A situation in elections comes when you
are only left with the term vote
among the given choices and you have to accept. It makes me think about an idea
where a choice should be given to voter as none
of the above. In a nation like Pakistan, there are many citizens who even
do not know the importance of voting and how important elections are for the
betterment of society. It is an election vote which decides who will lead our
nation in what directions, candidates do make promises before elections and as
it goes to their favor, the promises are lost. All in all, the power is with
the voters and their choice of nominating a strong candidate, who consider fulfilling
needs of voters at first priority.
In many rural areas, voters are forced to vote excluding
their freedom of choice and they are helpless as that candidate is in power
although elected bodies do not carry significance for being a government
representative who is allotted to put sole effort for an individual who voted.
In every democratic society, freedom of expression is an
essential approach to give your opinions and undoubtedly, Pakistan is the
nation where you can speak and say what you want but there is need of an eye
which can look into the matters, consider them and speaks on your behalf.
