The Election Commission of Pakistan on Wednesday declined requests made by three provincial assemblies for extension of timeframe for preparation of electoral lists.
The ECP took the decision after a Supreme Court order on Wednesday said it could not accede to the request for extension of time for preparation of electoral lists. The ECP said the application/resolutions of the provincial assemblies (KP, Balochistan and Sindh) made in this regard were declined.
“In view of the order, dated 21-03-2012 passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of Pakistan whereby the Apex Court has dismissed the CMA No 1116/2012 in CP No 31/2012 and declined to grant the prayer for extension in time for display of Preliminary Electoral Rolls, the same being not relevant and maintainable,” an ECP press statement said.
