Voting in Islam

Just happen to come across great article by Mufti Taqi Usmani in which he writes
“that the lack of interest towards elections is due to the fact that people

have linked Deen (religion) only to Salaah, Fast, etc. they consider politics,

economics etc as totally “foreign.” This is why we see many in their private

capacity dedicate and devote themselves to prayer but are quite reckless as far

as other dealings are concerned… such are the people who regard elections as

merely something of the Dunya having no connection to Deen, and have introduced

into Deen various evils…”
He stressed upon people to take VOTING as a "SHAHADAT" (in a sense of GAWAHI). I was thinking of not to vote but now i think its time to vote!!

Clear your own mind here.

The question is still in my mind that "WHAT IF NO RIGHT PERSON IS THERE TO VOTE FOR?"
