The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government and opposition on Wednesday agreed on extending the duration of Local Bodies (LB) institutions from 3 to 4 years.
Media reports said the decision has been taken in the meeting of Select Committee for the discussion on LB system.
The opposition has also decided to write a dissent note on the election of village council on non-party basis.
Sources said developmental funds for LB institutions have been also reduced up to 30 percent from 37 percent, while a two-thirds majority has been also declared compulsory for no confidence on district and tehsil nazim.
However, the deadlock between treasury and opposition benches still exists on proposed amendment for the direct election of district nazim and deputy district nazim.
