In a significant development, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) unveiled the much-anticipated schedule for the upcoming general elections on Friday.
Scheduled to take place on February 8, the announcement brings a wave of anticipation as political candidates eagerly await the allotment of symbols on January 13. This crucial step marks the beginning of the electoral process and sets the stage for a spirited political contest.
The decision follows a directive from Pakistan’s top court on the same day, instructing the ECP to promptly release the general election schedule. Notably, the court also suspended a Lahore High Court ruling that had previously halted the appointment of bureaucrats as returning officers (ROs) and district returning officers (DROs).
As the electoral timeline takes shape, the political landscape is expected to witness increased activity and fervor. Political aspirants and parties are gearing up for the upcoming symbolic allotment, a pivotal moment that will shape their campaigns in the run-up to the general elections.
