How does improving the electoral system amount to postponing elections? Anyone who screams conspiracy theories is in fact opposing free and fair elections. Nawaz Sharif needs to stop being an egoistical opportunist and instead endorse free and fair elections in Pakistan. Besides, what's the point of holding rigged elections? When was the last time that free and fair elections took place in Pakistan? It doesn't matter how long it takes for free and fair elections to take place. When elections happen they must be free and fair. That's what matters in the end.
I agree with you but elections cannot be delayed and delayed. It will give rise to all sorts of conspiracy theories. We have a respected EC. Trust him with the task–he will delive. We have waited enough.
