ECP issues notification for LG polls in KP

The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday issued notification for holding Local Government (LG) polls in some constituencies on February 21 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as the law and order situation had improved in the province.

The LG polls were scheduled to be held for 491 seats on January 23 of this year but were postponed owing to poor law and order situation in those areas.

Now provincial government of KP has informed ECP about the law and order situation and asked to hold LG polls in the province on Jan. 21 and the commission has approved the proposal and issued notification in this regard.
