Consultations on Punjab, KP polls not possible at this time, ECP tells President Alvi

[FOOLS_NIGHTMARE]

• ECP says matter of Punjab polls date "subjudice at various judicial fora".
• Says electoral body was well aware of its constitutional and legal obligations.
• Says LHC order for announcing polls date challenged via intra court appeal.

ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has excused itself from holding consultations with President Arif Alvi on elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for the time being, saying that the matter was already under judicial consideration.

On Friday, President Alvi summoned the election commissioner for an "urgent meeting" on February 20 (Monday) to hold consultation on the date of the poll, lambasting him over ECP’s “poignant approach” regarding the general elections date.

However, after finding fault with the president's "choice of words" in the letter, ECP has now said that it may not be able to enter into a process of consultation with the office of the president due to the "matter being subjudice at various judicial fora" and several other reasons.

A letter issued by the ECP secretary to president's secretary stated that the electoral body was well aware of its constitutional and legal obligations.

"It is pertinent to mention that Article 105 read with Article 112 of the Constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan, 1973, provides the procedure for appointment of poll date in case of dissolution of the provincial assemblies," it stated.

The ECP secretary informed the office of the president that the commission — following the dissolution of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa assemblies — had approached the governors of both the provinces for deciding a date for holding the polls. He said that the Punjab and KP governors had responded to the letters but were yet to issue a date.

In reference to Lahore High Court's (LHC) directive for Punjab election date, the letter stated that the ECP held a consultative meeting with Punjab Baligh ur Rehman in line with the orders but the latter expressed intention to avail the legal remedy against the judgment as "it was not binding on him".

The ECP secretary informed the office of the president that the commission had sought further guidance from the high court via a miscellaneous plea, and challenged its order via a separate intracourt appeal "on the ground that the process of consultation with the Governor is not provided in the Constitution".

Moreover, three writ petitions had also been filed in the Peshawar High Court, seeking directions for appointing a date for holding general elections in KP, he added.

"It is clarified that the Constitution does not empower the Election Commission to appoint a poll date in case of dissolution of a provincial Assembly by the Governor or due to afflux of time as provided in Article 112(1) of the Constitution," the letter read.

A very good assessment and recommendation.

All elections need to be defered for at least next 3 years.

ECP is doing everything except the job assigned to them and what they are paid for.

Taqatwars behind the gameplan and behind the current crooks.

Here is this troll again.

Have you ever said anything that is for Pakistan's interest ? Posting threads like top 10 Pak's enemies and adding all friendly or important countries in the list to defering elections for 3 years. You must really hate Pakistan. yeah ?

The reply of the ECP is a SLAP on pakistani nation. How you could ruin the law & constitution with backing of establishment.

Yes, things will change for the better.

This current lowest abyss, freefall economy, the bad political economy cannot go for long. It might get worst before it started to get better.

Everyone, every anti people, anti country institution, individuals are exposed daily as some sort of divine intervention, the divine justice comes later.

People eyes are opened like never before, the hogwash, eyewash of 75 years all gone, this is the big achievement.

i think we should extend election till 2040 and keep shahabaz in power in punjab. We have simple solution governor will say no and ecp will say no.
Next time we should keep who ever has both Pm and president for duration till they are alive.

After all we did same thing in 1960s

We should focus on flood releif and improving our economic situation instead of wasting time and money on politics and elections.

It is not the end of the world if we defer elections for another 3-5 years.

Agree. We need to defer it for 20yrs till Junaid safdar son is ready to take over.
We can call him Nawaz the great III

Afterwards with developed society we shouldnt do election as they are unIslamic and we can simply declare juanid sardar as Ameer Ul momeen and bilawal as Ameer Ul LGQBT for Sindh

[RIP Pak LAW]

Hopefully this may lead to removal of ECP chairman by the supreme court.

Alvi just wanted to lift the lid from the gutter. He succeeded. Now everyone sees what's really going on.
