In mounting uncertainty about the February 8 general polls, two petitions urging the postponement of elections have been submitted to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
The petitions cite security issues in Baluchistan and heavy snowfall affecting various districts as reasons for the delay.
While ECP officials assert the readiness of electoral rolls, individuals from Baluchistan stress heightened security challenges, including terrorist activities.
One petitioner emphasizes the challenging geographical terrain, arguing for a delay in the Kech district.
The second petition, citing the impact of snowfall on voting feasibility, calls for a more suitable election time.
Despite ECP’s dismissal of election delay reports, concerns persist, leading to potential legal action against spreading false information.
