ISLAMABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Islamabad Ameer Engineer Nasrullah Randhawa has said the party has fielded candidates in all union councils of the federal capital and submitted nomination papers for the local government elections from every UC.
In a statement issued by the JI Islamabad information department on November 10, 2026, Randhawa said Jamaat-e-Islami would not allow the local body polls to be sabotaged under any circumstances. He said a lasting solution to Islamabad’s problems lay in the transfer of powers to the grassroots level and the establishment of empowered local governments.
He said residents of Islamabad were facing serious issues in education, health, water supply and other basic facilities. According to him, Jamaat-e-Islami has a clear plan for the city’s development, digitalisation and resolution of public problems.
Randhawa said only a corruption-free and empowered local government could steer Islamabad out of its difficulties. He added that if elected, Jamaat-e-Islami would strengthen local bodies and make them functional.
He said that wherever JI had been given an opportunity to serve the public in the past, it worked beyond the available powers, citing Karachi as a prominent example.
The JI Islamabad chief appealed to the people of the capital to support and elect Jamaat-e-Islami candidates in the local government elections. He said the party would run a vigorous and effective campaign until election day, reach out to people from all walks of life, and work to bring the whole of Islamabad into a common stream beyond the urban-rural divide.
The statement was issued by Rab Nawaz Malik, Secretary Information, Jamaat-e-Islami Islamabad.
