ECP suspends Islamabad local body polls after IHC order
The Islamabad High Court has stayed the local government election process in the federal capital, leading the ECP to suspend the December 20 polling schedule.
The Islamabad High Court (IHC) issued a stay order against the ECP's October 21 election schedule.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has officially suspended the electoral process until the next hearing.
Polling was originally scheduled to take place on December 20 under a revised programme.
The legal challenge was brought by petitioner Chaudhry Amjad Ali through his counsel.
