By-polls will be held if Punjab, KP assemblies dissolved: ECP

November 28, 2022 02:55 PM


The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) said Monday that by-elections would be held if the provincial assemblies were dissolved, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

“If a provincial assembly is dissolved, there will be by-elections on the seats of that assembly,” said the ECP spokesperson.

“The by-elections will be held within 60 days. About Rs500 to Rs700 million will be spent for by-election in a provincial constituency,” he added.

“It is difficult to conduct by-elections and general elections in the same year, but we are bound by law,” he stated.

“The delimitation of constituencies and local bodies’ elections were also a difficult task that we did,” he averred.

“Even if it is difficult, elections will be held according to the law,” he vowed.

“At least Rs22.5 billion will be spent on the re-election of the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies. After the dissolution of both the assemblies, by-elections will be held in 411 constituencies,” he added.

It is to be noted here that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan had announced dissolving the provincial assemblies of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
