The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has postponed by-elections in nine constituencies of the National and Punjab Assemblies because of the ongoing flood emergency in Punjab.
According to the notification, the affected seats include five National Assembly constituencies — NA-66 Wazirabad, NA-96 Faisalabad-II, NA-104 Faisalabad, NA-129 Lahore and NA-143 Sahiwal — along with four Punjab Assembly constituencies — PP-73 Sargodha, PP-88 Mianwali, PP-98 Faisalabad and PP-203 Sahiwal.
The by-polls were earlier scheduled to be held on September 18 and October 5. The ECP said a fresh schedule will be announced once conditions allow.
