KARACHI (HRNW) The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) dismissed on Thursday the announcement made earlier in the day by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) regarding the conduct of the next general elections in the country as ‘unconstitutional.’
According to the ECP, the general elections are slated to be held in the final week of January 2024, while the preliminary delimitations’ list of constituencies would be available on September 27.
Rejecting the ECP’s decision, a prominent PPP figure said his party had reservations about this election date announcement.
“These concerns have been conveyed to PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari,” affirmed Faisal Karim Kundi. He mentioned that a meeting of the party’s Central Executive Committee would be convened upon Bilawal Bhutto’s return to Pakistan to decide on a future course of action.
It is noteworthy that Bilawal Bhutto, the PPP chairman and former foreign minister, is presently celebrating his 35th birthday in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE), where he intends to stay for five days.
Bilawal has repeatedly stressed his party’s request for the ECP to declare the election date in accordance with the constitution.
