The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Thursday informed Supreme Court that general elections in the country would be held on February 11, 2024.
The “assurance” was given by the ECP counsel during hearing of case related to holding general elections in the country in 90 days.
A three-member bench headed by Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa and including Justice Amin-ud-Din Khan and Justice Athar Minallah will hear the case. The Supreme Court Bar, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and others have filed applications against the decision of Council of Common Interest (CCI) and delay general elections beyond 90 days.
The ECP officials, the attorney general, PTI counsel Ali Zafar and PPP's Farooq H. Naek appeared before the court.
Barrister Zafar, in his arguments, said that his only supplication is that general elections should be held in 90 days.
Chief Justice Isa told him that all his pleas on elections have become infructuous.
Barrister Zafar said he advocated for basic human rights. CJP Isa replied no-one can deny that.
Justice Minallah said nothing is important than knowing masses’ opinion.
On last hearing on October 23, the apex court had sought replies from the federal government and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on the delay in elections.
It may be recalled that the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) had in August sought the top court orders for the ECP to announce a date for general elections to the national and provincial assemblies as provided in Article 224(2) of the Constitution.
The SCBA petitioned the Supreme Court to suspend the August 5 decision of the CCI. The council had in its meeting on August 5 approved “unanimously” the 7th Population and Housing Census results as a result of which general elections were delayed beyond 90 days.
