Despite police being attacked in Laki Marwat and Charsadda, the governor voiced the optimism that the polls will be calm. Even though tribal members were denouncing the deteriorating law and order situation, he insisted that he had performed his constitutional duty.
The governor claimed that in order to get all groups to the negotiating table and forge an agreement on the day to hold the general election, he had to work really hard. He, however, seemed doubtful that the election would be held accoring to the schedule.
I believe I will need to see the president again soon, he continued.
