A tough competition is expected between the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) in the elections for Multan’s municipal corporation and the district council

Analysts say the leading party will likely need support from the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) to form government. With several pockets of support in the district, the PPP is likely to play an important role in both the municipal corporation and the district council.

The three parties have fielded chairmen and vice-chairmen panels in all 68 UCs of the municipal corporation.

Unlike most others districts in the province, the PML-N stalwarts in Multan have been successful in resolving their differences ahead of the election. Governor Muhammad Rafiq Rajwana had visited the district twice in the November to encourage settlements with dissidents.

Party tickets were allotted by panels headed by MNAs, MPAs and party ticket holders for general elections of 2013 in constituencies where the PML-N had lost.

Leaguers contesting as independent candidates are a fraction of the candidates contesting on the party ticket. The most significant among them is Amin Vains (who lost a provincial assembly election in 2008). He is contesting for UC-54 chairman seat against party candidate Kausur Shah (supported by former MNA Tariq Rasheed).

Eyeing deadline, France to back Palestinian state if peace talks fail

(Reuters) - France warned on Friday it would recognize a Palestinian state if a final international effort to overcome the impasse between Israelis and Palestinians failed, and proposed a two-year timeframe to end the conflict through a U.N.-backed resolution. Lawmakers will hold a symbolic parliamentary vote on Dec. 2 on whether the French government should recognize Palestine as a state, a move that the Israeli Prime Minister has called a "grave mistake". "If this final effort to reach a negotiated solution fails, then France will have to do what it takes by recognizing without delay the Palestinian state. We are ready," Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius told parliament. The parliamentary vote has raised domestic political pressure for the government to be more active on the issue. An IFOP poll showed 63 percent of French support a Palestinian state. Fabius told deputies that, were they to adopt the motion, it would not change Paris' immediate diplom
