ISLAMABAD -UNS: The Pakistan Bar Council (PBC) on Friday condemned the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) decision to initiate fresh delimitations leading to the postponement of elections beyond stipulated 90-day limit.
On Aug 17, the ECP unveiled a schedule for delimitation concerning provincial and national constituencies, with the goal of completing this process by Dec 14. This decision, stemming from the recent approval of census results by the Council of Common Interests, effectively signifies that elections cannot take place in 2023.
In a press release, PBC Vice Chairman Haroonur Rashid and Executive Committee chairman Hassan Raza Pasha expressed serious concerns regarding the ECP’s decision.
