KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) has petitioned the Sindh High Court (SHC) to delay the August 28 local government elections in Karachi.
Khurram Sher Zaman and Raja Azhar of the PTI filed the petition, in which the names of the chief election commissioner, the provincial election commissioner, and the Sindh government were mentioned.
The PTI petition argued that there was no extraordinary rainfall in Karachi, but the ECP used it as an excuse for the election delay. They criticized the PPP and its coalition partners for delaying elections in Karachi, claiming that the process had been halted. According to them, this delay prevents the citizens from electing their representatives for LG elections.
The petition filed by the PTI Sindh leaders demanded the SHC require the city’s local government elections to be held immediately.
