Not possible to hold general elections in three months, says Pakistan Election Commission

Islamabad, 5/4:Pakistan’s election commission has expressed its inability to hold general elections within three months due to legal, constitutional and logistical challenges, according to a media report on Tuesday.

 

 

Pakistan’s embattled Prime Minister Imran Khan stunned the Opposition on Sunday by recommending snap elections within three months, minutes after a no-confidence motion against him was dismissed by the deputy speaker of the National Assembly.

 

Khan then got Pakistan President Arif Alvi to dissolve the 342-member National Assembly.

 

Pakistan’s Supreme Court on Monday adjourned the hearing on the deputy speaker’s decision to reject the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Khan, who had lost majority in the lower house of Parliamen
