ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) will take up issues relating to the local government elections in Sindh, Balochistan and Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) on February 11, as legal and administrative hiccups continue to impede the holding of elections.
Sources in the ECP said though the electoral body was geared up for conducting the local government elections [in the provinces and the federal capital], it awaited the provincial governments and the ICT administration to do the needful besides the official publication of the Population Census, 2017.
However, to have a fresh look at the matter and get updates from the provinces on the directions given to them earlier, the commission will meet here on February 11 at 10:00am.
