Govt seeks Senate polls in February
ISLAMABAD: The government has decided to hold the Senate elections in February instead of March 2021, sources told Geo News.
The decision was taken on Tuesday during a federal cabinet meeting, chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan. The government has decided to use open voting for the elections, added the sources.
Addressing a post-cabinet meeting press conference, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Shibli Faraz said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)-led government was striving to make the Senate elections free and fair. Controversies have always surrounded the Senate elections. It is such an old practice that it is assumed that in the elections, [horse trading] will surely take place, he said.
