Earlier, The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) postponed the local government elections in Karachi for the third time which was scheduled for October 23.

The ECP postponed the local body election in Karachi after the refusal from the Ministry of Interior to provide police and other forces for polling stations to hold the election in a peaceful atmosphere due to flood and other reasons.

The Sindh government had informed the electoral body that there is a shortage of 16,785 personnel and recommended that the federal government be requested to fulfill the requirement from the army and Rangers.

It also requested the postponement of the polls for another three months.
