Haji Ghulam Ali, Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), on Tuesday proposed April 16, 17, and 18 for election dates in the province.
The suggestion came in response to the Election Commission of Pakistan’s (ECP) letter, in which it proposed April 15 to 17 for the KP Assembly elections.
In his letter, the governor urged the ECP to ensure free and fair elections in the province.
PTI leader Barrister Saif, while talking to Aaj News, termed it a welcome development, but expressed concerns that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government in the centre might try to delay elections in the guise of law and order and economic situations.
“From the statements of federal ministers and other stakeholders, it occurs that they want provincial elections delayed,” he added.
