The by-elections on 36 seats of the National Assembly were postponed

Islamabad: The Election Commission of Pakistan has postponed the by-elections on 36 seats of the National Assembly.

According to Media News, sources say that the elections of 24 constituencies of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been postponed, the elections of 3 constituencies of Islamabad and 9 constituencies of Karachi have also been postponed.

It should be noted that the elections in 24 constituencies of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have been postponed in the light of the decision of the Peshawar High Court.

It should be noted that PDM parties including PPP had earlier boycotted the by-elections for the 24 National Assembly seats on which the court has issued an injunction.

PTI candidates Ali Muhammad Khan, Fazal Muhammad Khan and Haji Shaukat Ali won the three seats from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the 2018 general elections.

Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan won the by-elections held on October 16 last year after the resignation of the above-mentioned members. Election Commission has declared these seats vacant due to non-taking of oath.
