Amidst the vibrant chatter on social media, numerous reports are circulating, suggesting a series of eight upcoming holidays in Pakistan during February, seemingly tied to the anticipated general election scheduled for February 8, 2024.
Contrary to these claims, it is essential to clarify that the information circulating about eight official holidays in Pakistan for the 2024 general election is inaccurate. No official notification has been released to confirm or support these assertions at this time.
The misleading reports specify a holiday span from February 4 to February 11. According to these sources, February 4 (a Sunday) and February 5 (observed as Kashmir Day) mark the commencement of the holiday period. Subsequently, a break is presumed to extend from February 6 to 10 due to the electoral activities in the country. The purported end of this break falls on February 11 (another Sunday), with educational institutions scheduled to resume activities on February 12, effectively concluding the eight-day hiatus.
It is crucial to note that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) retains the authority to release official notifications pertaining to election-related holidays in the country. As of the latest information available, the ECP has not issued any such notification.
In light of this, individuals are urged to verify information from official sources and await an official announcement from the Election Commission of Pakistan regarding any potential holidays associated with the upcoming general election.
