ISLAMABAD — The Islamabad High Court has suspended the schedule for local government elections in the federal capital following objections concerning constituency delimitation.
According to reports, the court intervened in the election process after concerns were raised over the delimitation arrangements.
The Election Commission of Pakistan has been directed to submit its response by November 26.
The development affects the electoral timetable for Islamabad, where local government elections had been scheduled for December 20.
The court’s intervention places the election process under further judicial consideration while the relevant authorities respond to the objections.
The next proceedings and the Election Commission’s response are expected to clarify the future timeline of the local government elections.
