PESHAWAR, Mar 08 (APP): A three-member team of the Election Commission of Pakistan on Wednesday reached here to hold a meeting with Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ghulam Ali to finalise a date for the conduct of the general elections in the province following a Supreme Court’s verdict.
The team members included the Secretary Election Commission, Special Secretary, and Director General Law.
The team reached Peshawar in response to a letter written to the ECP by the KP Governor for consultation regarding the fixation of a date for the KP Assembly elections.
It is worth mentioning here that the apex court, in a 3-2 verdict last week, had ruled that elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab provinces should be held within 90 days.
The court, in its judgment, had noted that under the constitution a governor was responsible to fix and announce the election date as soon as he dissolved any provincial assembly.
