The Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) officially asked the Supreme Court on Tuesday to order the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to ensure that elections are held within 90 days after the National Assembly’s dissolution.
JI moves Supreme Court for Elections: JI chief Liaquat Baloch filed the petition. The petition urged the court to order ECP to make sure that general elections were held in the nation within 90 days.
It is important to note that this is the third petition that has been submitted to the Supreme Court. The same plea had previously been submitted to the Supreme Court by Abid S. Zubairi, president of the Supreme Court Bar Association, and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
According to the PTI petition, the Supreme Court should also order the ECP to publish the general elections schedule.
The CCI judgement regarding the delimitation and the census 2023 was recommended to be declared invalid by the supreme court.
It is important to note that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has stated that there will not be any general elections during the next 90 days. The Pakistani Election Commission chose the census of 2023 as the date for the upcoming general election.
According to the ECP, the commission is required to complete the delimitation procedure. The first publishing will take place on October 9 and the last one on December 14.
