ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court regretted on Thursday that unpopular governments were always hesitant and unwilling to hold local government (LG) elections in the country and asked the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to furnish a comprehensive reply within a week on holding the LG polls.
“Local bodies are political nurseries which help develop political leadership for the country,” observed Justice Qazi Faez Isa while heading a two-judge bench also consisting of Justice Maqbool Baqar.
