Hours after the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) suggested dates for the election in the province as instructed by the Supreme Court, President Arif Alvi announced April 30 as the day for the general elections in Punjab (SC).
The President’s office tweeted on Friday that general elections for the Punjab Assembly would be held on April 30, Sunday.
The decision was made by the president after “considering the dates provided by the Election Commission of Pakistan,” according to Dr. Alvi’s office.
The ECP had earlier today suggested that the elections for the Punjab provincial legislature be held between April 30 and May 7 in a letter to President Alvi.
