ECP starts work on delimitation

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Spokesman to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) Haroon Shinwari Wednesday said the work on delimitation had been started immediately after constitutional amendment passed from the senate on the subject.

The ECP would work on war footings to complete the work within stipulated time as we had limited time and lot of work to be done, he said talking to a private news channel.

He said the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) had also convened an important meeting regarding delimitation on December 22 in which election commissioners of the four provinces would be present.

Matters related to the delimitation process and required data would be discussed.

Haroon Shinwari said five separate committees would be formed for distributing work on the subject.

Four committees would be for four provinces while one would be for Islamabad and FATA, he added.

The Senate Tuesday passed the constitutional amendment to consider provisional results of census 2017 to make delimitation of constituencies, paving the way for the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to carry out fresh delimitation of constituencies ahead of the next general elections.
