ISLAMABAD: A day after it agreed to hold general elections in the country on February 8, the electoral watchdog Friday submitted a notification in the top court pertaining to the polls date — which has been “set in stone”.
During Thursday’s hearing, the Election Commission had proposed February 11 as the date for polls but the SC had asked it to approach the president for consultations. On Friday, Attorney General for Pakistan Mansoor Usman Awan submitted the electoral body’s notification in this regard to the three-member bench.
After the AGP read out the ECP notification in the court, the top judge asked if everyone was happy now. He noted that all the respondents have given their approval to the polls date.
