Pakistan has decided Feb. 8 as the date for the country’s national elections, a step that will end uncertainty regarding the vote that has been delayed for months.
The date was announced after a discussion between President Arif Alvi and Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, according to a statement. The Supreme Court directed the election commission to announce a final date for elections after consultations with President Arif Alvi earlier on Thursday, Syed Ali Zafar, a lawyer for former prime minister Imran Khan’s party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf said on X.
