The PML-N government has decided to once again to request the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to change the date of the presidential elections, sources said on Saturday.
They said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif wanted to perform umra in the last 10 days of the holy month of Ramadan and so would not be present in the country on August 6, the date set for the elections.
The sources said the PML-N would request the ECP to change the date for the presidential elections after discussing the issue with other political parties.
The PML-N is likely to propose July 29 or 30 as the new date.
