ISLAMABAD: On Tuesday, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) rejected the claim made by a reputable news organisation stating that the ECP was unable to conduct general elections in three months’ time.
A spokesperson of ECP said that reports circulating on media, regarding its inability to conduct elections in three months are fake. He added that the organisation could hold elections at any given time as it’s their responsibility.
