PESHAWAR: A three-member team of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Wednesday reached here to hold a meeting with Governor Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P), Haji Ghulam Ali to finalise a date for holding the general elections for the provincial assembly following a Supreme Court verdict.

The team members included the Secretary, Special Secretary, and Director General Law of the ECP. The team reached Peshawar in response to a letter written to the Commission by the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Governor for consultation regarding fixation of a date for the KP Assembly elections.
It is worth mentioning here that the apex court, in a 3-2 verdict last week, had ruled that elections in Punjab and K-P provinces should be held within 90 days.
The court, in its judgment, had noted that under the constitution, a governor was responsible to fix and announce the election date as soon as he dissolved any provincial assembly. — APP
