ISLAMABAD 15 JAN (Online): Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) took notice of all political parties’ statements regarding local bodies election held today (Sunday).
According to ECP spokesperson Qurratulain Fatima allegations on election commission regarding constituencies’ delimitation are baseless.

According to notification of December 2021 Sindh government has provided the numbers of local councils of every district. According to law ECP is bound to mark constituencies as per its capacity.
According to spokesperson, constituencies have no similarities with local bodies’ elections in Islamabad.
In Islamabad case, federal government has increased union council number from 101 to 150 during election schedule.
