Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Governor Ghulam Ali on Monday invited the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to initiate an “active and meaningful consultative process” regarding the elections for the provincial assembly.
Last week, the Supreme Court ruled that the elections to the Punjab and KP assemblies should be held within the stipulated period of 90 days. It also held that President Dr Arif Alvi and the KP governor would fix dates for Punjab and KP assemblies, respectively, in consultation with the ECP.
On Friday, the ECP had written separate letters to the president and the KP governor. In the letter to Alvi, the electoral watchdog proposed dates between April 30 and May 7 for the elections while it told the KP governor that it was awaiting his response regarding the date for polls in the province.
It is pertinent to mention that President Alvi has announced that elections in Punjab will be held on April 30.
