ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has convened a meeting on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa local government elections on Friday, a spokesman of the commission said on Tuesday.
The ECP spokesman said that the commission has written a letter to the provincial government in this regard.
The meeting will be chaired by acting Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Justice Nasirul Mulk while Chief Secretary Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Secretary Local governments, Provincial Election Commissioner and Chairman NADRA will attend the meeting.
On April 4, Imran Khan, whose party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rules the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, said that the provincial government was ready to hold the local government elections on April 30 on biometric basis through electronic voting machines.
“I told the CEC if there is some issue of time constraint to conduct elections through the machines, it can be worked out, but the PTI is ready to have this as a pilot project in the province,” Imran told media after holding a meeting with acting CEC in Islamabad.
