PESHAWAR: Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Local Government Akbar Ayub Khan on Saturday said the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) would soon announce the schedule for local body elections in the province.
“The ECP has issued notification for the appointment of district returning officers (DROs), returning officers and presiding officers for 34 districts of the province. However, the delimitation process for Peshawar would be completed by July 8 after which DROs and the rest of the election staff will be notified,” he added. The minister said the ECP has not notified the election staff so the local body polls could be delayed due to incomplete delimitation in other provinces.
