Jamaat's 'popularity' in the recently held UZ polls is quite surprising! But would it be fair to give credit to the party for such a victory? UZ polls are local body elections, where voters vote for candidates through personal knowledge about the quality and capability of the individual candidate. This could be an area of survey to determine if the voters cast ballots based on the party affiliation of the candidates or by the quality and popularity of the individual candidate alone!
