The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has decided to postpone delimitations in Sindh following the chief minister’s request, sources said on Thursday.
Following a meeting held between Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja, the ECP has decided to postpone the delimitation process in the province.
Sources said that the Sindh government sought two weeks for completing its legislation regarding the local government (LG) system.
The meeting between the Sindh chief minister and CEC was also attended by ECP member Shah Muhammad Jatoi and other senior officers.
Earlier on December 2, the ECP had barred the Sindh government from changing the limits of the districts and urban and rural areas for the delimitations process ahead of the LG polls. INP
