The Election Commission of Pakistan has announced that the by-election for Umerkot’s PS-52 will be held on January 18.
The seat fell vacant following the death of Syed Ali Mardan Shah, a former Sindh minister. The 65-year-old died of cardiac arrest on January 20.
The by-election was delayed because of the coronavirus outbreak.
PPP had submitted a petition in the ECP asking for the authority to hold the elections.
