ECP rejects news item about local elections in Punjab

Election Commission of Pakistan has rejected a news item carried by a section of electronic media that it has apologized to hold local elections in Punjab.

The Commission in a media release said that Punjab province has not held any consolation with the ECP regarding Local Government Act. Neither has the province made any rules so far regarding the local government.

A case in this regard is sub judice in court.

The ECP said holding of election is its constitutional responsibility for which the commission is all time ready.
