KARACHI: Former president and co-chairman of the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP), Asif Ali Zardari, has thrown his support behind the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), asserting that a fresh delimitation exercise is now mandatory following the announcement of the new census.
In a statement conveyed by the PPP through its social media channels, Zardari highlighted the crucial role of the electoral authority in conducting elections in accordance with the Constitution.
Moreover, the former president expressed unwavering confidence in Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Rana and the commission’s members.
Zardari’s statement comes in the wake of appeals from various PPP leaders, including party chairman Bilawal Bhutto, urging the ECP to promptly announce the date for the general elections while adhering to the constitutional requirement of holding elections within 90 days.
