Shehbaz Sharif, the president of the opposition Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) demanded the postponement of the local government election in Balochistan in view of the political situation in the country, local news reported.
Sharif requested the Election Commission of Pakistan to postpone the local government election in Balochistan as the leaders from the province are busy in Islamabad, ARY News reported.
Notably, the ECP scheduled the local government election in the Balochistan districts on May 29. The Commission had decided to not hold the election in the Quetta and Lasbela districts of Balochistan due to new delimitations of the constituencies, according to ARY News.
Meanwhile, in Islamabad, the Pakistan Supreme Court directed the National Assembly to conduct the no-confidence motion on Saturday.
The court set aside all the subsequent steps taken after the rejection of the no-confidence vote and reinstated the National Assembly.
