The apex court has expressed surprise over the “brazen disregard of the law” and the Constitution by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister and the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) as they have failed to conduct local government elections despite a delay of 14 months.
A division bench, led by Justice Qazi Faez Isa, has issued a four-page written order regarding implementation of its earlier judgment on the compliance of the Clauses 39 and 41 of the KP Local Governments Act, 2013. The order observed that the KP province is bereft of elected LG representatives since August 28, 2019 when the term of the previous elected representatives came to an end.
