Elections to be held in last week of January: ECP​

• Says initial list for delimitation of constituencies will be published on September 27

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) announced on Thursday that general elections will be held in the last week of January 2024.


In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), the Commission said it had decided that the initial list for the delimitation of constituencies will be published on September 27

The statement further said that after hearing objections and suggestions regarding the exercise, the final list will be issued on November 30.


“Polls will be held in the last week of January following the completion of a 54-day election campaign programme,” the press release stated.


Code of conduct


On Wednesday, the ECP had said that a meeting with political parties will be scheduled on October 4 to discuss the code of conduct for general elections.


According to a statement, the meeting will be held at its secretariat in Islamabad on October 4 at 2 pm in compliance with Section 233 of the Elections Act 2017.


“In this regard, a copy of the draft Code of Conduct has also been sent to the leaders of political parties so that they can provide their feedback during the consultation,” the ECP said.


Earlier this month, the ECP said it had decided to publish the list of final constituencies by November 30. The election watchdog decided to shorten the time frame after consultation with political parties. The previous date was December 14, 2023.


General elections


The National Assembly was dissolved on August 9 — a scenario which implies that the general elections are required to be held not later than November 7 this year, within the 90-day period mandated by the constitution.


Article 224(2) provides that when the NA or a provincial assembly is dissolved, a general election to the assembly shall be held within a period of 90 days after the dissolution, and the results of the election shall be declared not later than 14 days after the conclusion of the polls.


Earlier this month, President Dr Arif Alvi had proposed November 6 as the date for elections in a letter to Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja.


The general elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have already been witnessing inordinate delay – keeping in view that both the provincial legislatures were dissolved in January this year and respective caretaker governments are since running the affairs of the two provinces.


The delay in the general elections has met with criticism from some political parties, who have demanded that the elections be held as soon as possible.


However, the ECP has said that it is committed to conducting a fair and transparent delimitation process and will not compromise on the quality of the delimitation plan.

I guess PTI is done and dusted in the eye of Miliary.

Then they might be in for a rude awakening.

 

[koolio]

I will believe it when it happens, at the moment it's the law of the jungle.

Sadly until now the people of Pakistan have been a major disappointment so cant say much

 

[HerbertPervert]

Selections, not elections, will be held. The establishment will select people to form the government.

I thought they were meant for November? they just keep kicking the can,
don't think they will happen in January as well.

But whenever they happen the Army has decided with America and India to
bring in Mota Nawaja. He will be imposed on the awaam for 5 years and Asim
whisky will get a 3 year extension from Mota Nawaja in return.

 

[Fasbre2]

ECP has announced date of election since it is satisfied that PTI has been dismantled as determined by whisky asim.. paving way for complete manipulation of results in accordance with Faujeets and NS wishes…

 

[Dr. Strangelove]

ECP has no right to give date of the Election. The Constitution only empowers the President to do so but like all others things the constitution has been gangraped by the swine's ruling us from the shadows.

Unless they ban the PTI, they will lose the elections to Imran's supporters (if they don't rig it). PTI is still the most popular party in the minds of Pakistanis. Asim Munir has only two options if he wants to do away with the PTI: 1) Ban the party 2) get his man nominated as PTI's candidate for the election.
The first option is easier but the second one is highly risky. However, banning the PTI won't guarantee a win for Asim Munir. Any canditate that Imran Khan endorses (even while in prison) will undoubtedly win the election.

So far, the PTI has steered clear of violence, which is really good for Pakistanis. We don't want another Sudan, Syria, Libya, or Somalia in Pakistan. The U.S. wouldn't mind destabilizing another Muslim country via a civil war - which will make it easier for the kuffaar to disarm the only nuclear-armed Muslim state. Therefore, Pakistanis must do whatever they can to prevent a large scale bloodshed. It is better to have Asim Munir as a dictator president than a civil war in Pakistan.

After a long thought, I've realized that change in Pakistan shouldn't come through a public revolution. Some day, a prime minister will emerge and clip the wings of rogue generals, just like Erdogan did in Turkiye. If not because he had already weakened the Kemalists and FETO officers in the military over the years, the 2016 coup would most likely have succeeded.

Imran Khan's experience is definitely a good lesson for future prime ministers and I'm convinced the Pakistani generals will never recover from their reputational damage. Civilian prime ministers will also be much more difficult to control henceforth even if it were Nawaz Sharif.

Okay, we’ve seen Sudan’s forces of freedom and change (FFC) mentioned uncountable times in the Western media lately. Whenever we read or hear about them, they are portrayed as champions of democracy in Sudan. Considering how much the MSM praises them, you’d never believe that they’d try to...

America wanted to install faggot Billo Zardari as PM of Pakistan. India wants to install fatty Nawaz Sharif.

It seems like the MC generals of the British Indian Army have decided to follow Modi’s orders.

Bilawal will be next after Mota Nawaja's 3-5 years loot and plunder.
