Uncertainty persists as to when local bodies’ (LBs) elections would be held in Punjab as the schedule for elections has not been announced as yet, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Sunday.
Sources told the 24News TV channel that the Punjab government had decided to seek more time from the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for holding the polls since neither new election rules had been framed as yet nor the demarcation of constituencies had been completed.
They said that the election commission had summoned the Punjab government on January 22.
Sources disclosed that the provincial government was likely to seek at least one month from the commission for holding the polls.
Meanwhile, objections to the Form 45 and Form 47 have been addressed.
The procedure for the election of the mayor and the deputy mayor has also been made clear.
