تلخیص
After becoming formal part of the province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the newly merged tribal districts, have recently been passed through a new experience of popular voting on 20th July 2019. For the purpose of delimitation of constituencies, the seven tribal districts have been divided into sixteen provincial constituencies. The active participation of the general masses in the provincial elections under the umbrella of major political parties is an unprecedented and practical step in the process of integrating the erstwhile tribal areas into the country's mainstream political, administrative and constitutional structure. Being a central component of democracy, elections provide opportunities of equal standing, progress, prosperity, political awareness, and socio-economic equality to the people. It reflects the will of the people. The present paper, however, explores the significant aspects of this political dispensation on the one hand and addresses certain important questions on the other. It pinpoints the role of the major political parties, their programmes, political manifestoes and electoral campaign. The active participation of the general public, the role of independent candidates and women across these districts, are the major areas of concern at the moment. It carefully deals with all these important characteristics of the provincial assembly elections recently held in the newly merged tribal districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in the light of empirical evidences in order to ensure objectivity, unbiased analysis and authenticated conclusions
