The Election Commission has also urged the Legislature-Parliament to endorse the bill on the election of the House of Representatives. Similarly, Yadav also said that he has already submitted as many as six bills related to the forth-coming elections to the government.
“The report of the Federal Commission on Boundaries should be implemented by the second week of September to hold local elections by mid-December.”
Meanwhile, Yadav also urged the Legislature-Parliament to enact laws as soon as possible saying that the election of the National Assembly cannot be held before holding the local elections and without holding the election of the National Assembly, we cannot hold the federal elections.
Political parties have been expressing dissatisfaction over the lackadaisical modus operandi of the commission on the provincial boundaries.
The EC held talks with the former Election Commissioner, legal experts, and leaders of the political parties on this issue today.
