Abstract
This constituency consists of Kamalia, Pirmahal and its sournding villages.
Before 1985 elections, it was the part of district Faisalabad but before 1985, Zia
regime decided to establish new district Toba Tek Singh. Kamalia is the Tehsil
head quater of T. T. singh but its area has been divided into two constituencies.
Few villages fall in NA and other villages are situated in NA. 94. The major
bridaries of this constituency are, Syed, Arian, Jutt, Rajput, Rajput Bhatti, Kharals,
Fityyana. Before 1985, the main leadership was in the hands of Syeds. Two
different groups existed among them; one was leading Syed Nasir Deen Shah and
second was under the control of Makhdoom Nazir Deen shah. These two groups
ruled over district council Faisalabad for many years. Zia regime tried to dismental
its influence and decided to divide the follwers of these two groups onto different
districts. Few villages of their followers had been given in district Jaranwala, few
were given in district Faisalabad and few came in the vicinity of district Toba
Teksingh. In this way, the power of the Syed family came to an end. Now in the
existing set up, the leadership is in the hands of three major families i.e. Syed,
Arian and Fatiana. This paper presents the historical background of the electoral
politics and role of bradrise in the victory of the candidates.
