Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Haji Ghulam Ali hinted at a potential election delay by saying that he does not see the province holding elections within the allotted three months.
The governor stated that 400 tribal elders had asked him to hold elections in three to four months during a meeting with journalists on Friday.
He said, “How would the elections be held if a province requests a census first or intelligence agencies suggest delaying polls?
The governor claims that 400 elders from amalgamated districts made together a tribal jirga that urged a census be conducted before to the general elections.
The Muttahida Qaumi Movement-Pakistan (MQM-P), on the other hand, voiced concerns about the prior census and threatened to boycott the polls, he continued.
