ISLAMABAD/QUETTA: The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Monday decided to announce schedule for local bodies elections in Sindh and Punjab on December 7. In addition, it also decided to write to the provinces accordingly, making it clear that provinces would be responsible for delay, if any.

In a statement, the ECP said that legislation and notification were not yet completed by Sindh and Punjab governments for local bodies polls.

The ECP had to announce local bodies schedules for Sindh and Punjab on Friday but it delayed announcement of local bodies polls in Sindh, saying the provincial government failed to submit the prerequisites by the deadline.
