After the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) on Saturday objected to the delay in the general elections. Speaking exclusively JUI-F General Secretary Abdul Ghafoor Haideri made it clear that the JUI-F wants elections in the country within 90 days.
The elections should be held within the given constitutional term, he added. Regarding the new census, Mr Haideri said, “The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) wants elections in the country on the new census. It is up to the ECP to ensure delimitations.
In line with President Dr Arif Alvi’s statement over the key bills, Mr Haideri asked the former to resign. Separately on Friday, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) asked the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to hold the general elections on time. Expressing her thoughts, PPP Senator Sherry Rehman expressed concern over the ECP’s statement that it will take four months to complete the delimitation process in accordance with the new census.—INP
