ECP rejects speculations of delay in general elections

Election Commission of Pakistan
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday ruled out the possibility of a delay in the polls and assured that a schedule will be issued after the process of delimitation of constituencies is completed.

“After the publication of the delimitation of constituencies, the election schedule will be announced. There is no chance of a delay in the elections,” said a spokesperson in a statement.

The official added that all the preparations have been completed for the elections.

The spokesperson said that the first phase of the delimitation process has been completed and the second one will conclude once the objections to the preliminary delimitations are filed.

The official said the ECP would start hearing objections on the delimitation from October 30-31 and a final list will be published on November 30.

“The election schedule will be announced after the final publication of constituencies. There is no ambiguity in the Election Commission's decisions."

The ECP's statement comes after President Dr Arif Alvi, a day earlier, said that he does not believe the general elections will take place in January next year, but at the same time, he called for the transparent polls when they are staged.
