The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Tuesday decided to postpone local government elections in Karachi, according to a press release from the electoral watchdog.
The decision was taken following a third request by the Sindh government seeking postponement for three months of the LG polls in seven districts of Karachi, scheduled for October 23.
The Sindh government stated that there were difficulties in providing security for the polls as it is facing a shortage of 16,000 police personnel.
