Sindh Governor Imran Ismail has said that the 2023 elections will be held in accordance with the results of a new census.

Talking to media persons, he said that the issue regarding MQM’s protest is that local body elections are near and a census cannot be held in just one month. However, he noted that MQM-P leader Khalid Maqbool Siddiqui’s demand for a census in urban areas is legitimate.

He said that preparations for the new census would begin in 2022 and the 2023 elections would be held in accordance with its results.
