The politicians are the representatives of the people, and they very well know when elections should be held as per reports quoting the sources in the establishment. The federal government is functional and reposed confidence in the country’s political leadership having the capability to resolve prevailing political and economic issues.
Moreover, regarding ‘soft intervention’ for bringing all political players on the table, sources commented that neither establishment showed any interest in receiving any communiqué pertaining to fresh elections nor political leadership of the country has approached them yet.
