Election Commission of Pakistan has clarified key aspects of its preliminary delimitations report.
In a press release today, in a bid to address concerns raised by the local elections monitoring group, the ECP clarified that report of the group pertaining to initial constituencies was flawed and based on a misunderstanding of the criteria used for seats distribution. The ECP's preliminary delimitations, released on Wednesday, were formulated in the light of the 2023 digital census, and they aimed to rationalize electoral districts across the country.
The ECP further explained that it had distributed 266 seats in the National Assembly among the provinces based on population.
