Pakistan's Election Commission has postponed the upcoming Punjab province election despite a ruling by the Supreme Court that the vote should take place within 90 days of the assembly being dissolved. The decision to delay the election was based on a belief by the Election Commission that it would not be possible to hold a fair and secure vote due to security concerns and financial problems.
Former Prime Minister Imran Khan has criticized the delay, stating that it violates the constitution. The delay has further stoked tensions between Khan's supporters and the government. The ruling by the Election Commission contradicts the Supreme Court's earlier order that a new election must take place within 90 days of the assembly being dissolved. The decision is likely to face legal challenges in the coming weeks.
